The M-80’s from years past fused to a lit cigarette would have us thrown under the jailhouse for some of the terrorist acts we performed on unsuspecting citizens. We would hit the lover’s lanes, police parked timing speeders, police directing traffic and others that are better not mentioned. One crowd, not us, got busted by the postal inspectors for blowing up mailboxes, not a good year or two for them. It you ever had one of those bombs go off in a car it didn’t take long to figure out cigarettes on the fuse was much safer and more fun having the advantage of remote observation.
Oh, and that is why NC does not allow us to own firecrackers.
