Never launch a rocket in your arse
here's why:
A 22 year old man suffered internal burns as he tried to launch a rocket from his bottom on Guy Fawkes Day. He was found bleeding with a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket inside him.

This is an extremely embarrassing incident that the poor man will never able to escape from and he sure must be learning it the hard way. His friends might be a little sensitive about it, though I doubt that. Even people from his neighbourhood will say: - oh, he is the guy who lit a rocket in his arse, isn't he?

There are two questions to ask, one funny and one not
Q1: What was he thinking, trying to launch a rocket from there?
Q2: What were the first words that he uttered when the rocket launched in his arse?

Mail me if you have any good answers

The BBC story carried an apt headline- Backside firework prank backfires

And here are a few extracts:

He suffered a scorched colon and is now recovering in hospital, where his condition is described as stable.

A spokesman for the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) said the prank could have been fatal.

Douglas McDougal, from the NEAS, said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding.

"He sustained fairly significant injuries in the fact that there's huge damage to that particular area."

"And also the body naturally produces methane gas, so combine that with the firework and the exploding effect with methane's flammability - it certainly could have been a lot worse than it really was."

A spokesman for the Firework Association described the bizarre prank as "beyond belief".

He said: "We have spent a long time working with the government to create laws that make fireworks safer and better for the public.

"This incident is very concerning but hopefully an isolated one."


So all you arsonists out there remember:

Don't put your money where your mouth is
and
Don't launch a rocket where your arse is
