Wimp. Been there, I didn't use tape .

And it is far, far from the stupidest thing I have ever done.

Here is one from my wife. One she tells whenever she can.

I went out to burn the garbage, we use 55 gallon drums out here. There was still some garbage left over from the week before that hadn't burned all the way for one reason or another.

Well, I decided to put a little gasoline on the garbage, the barrel was about 1/4 full. Then (because I am an idiot and didn't stop to think things through), I put the new bag of garbage down on the old one.

Drizzled a little more gas on the bag, you know so it would light good. Took my lighter, and lit the edge of the plastic soaked in gasoline bag.

Turned around, and flew through the air. I laid on the ground a little dazed, kinda trying to figure out what just happened, I put the fire out that was crawling up the sleeve of my shirt. And smelled the smell of a freshly burned human idiot.

Turns out that when you put a good explosive fuel, and then pack a nicely sealed bag of flaming garbage in a metal tube you create a type of bomb, one that sends flaming pieces of Toilet paper hundreds of yards in all directions, moves the burn barrel, breaks the old one next to it, burns half the hair off of your head, and gives your wife ready ammunition for the rest of your life.

Yep, it's her favorite story, right next to me and the Bulls, but that'll be another day, perhaps when I am drunk.

You realize you just made a single-fire 55 gallon cylinder and piston, with a 1/16" cylinder wall? I'm just sayin.. that's all..

heheh.

Well, there are many levels and facets of stupid. How it effects others, how it effects you, etc.
But the most annoying thing to me that looking back was stupid but didn't seem so at the time... was going to college and not needing what I learned later, and having a job that utilized the college in any way. Realized I didn't want to do that after all. Paying wads of cash against a student loan that bought skills I never use does seem stupid sometimes.

Oh, on a sillier note when I was 7.. I shouldnt have smashed a whole wad of cap gun cap rolls with a hammer at once. My ears rang for days, as did my brothers.
