Well, another celebration of our country’s declaration of independence has come and gone and once again, there will be a slew of people who obtained injuries from fireworks.
Every year, we, the press, report on the dangers of using fireworks and plead with the public to be careful.
And, eve
ry year, we report that hundreds, if not thousands of people are harmed by fireworks.
Of course, these numbers aren’t accurate, not even by a long shot, because, let’s be honest, if you were harmed by a firework, would you want to admit it?
Face it, all you would set yourself up for is for a lifetime series of ridicule and judgment.
“What are you fucking stupid?” or, “Hah, you’ve got to be a real dumb ass to get hurt by a firecracker. How much beer did you have jerk-off?”
Would you want to be labeled for the rest of your days as the “Fireworks moron”?
So, take this story as an obligatory public service announcement from your local news source and attempt to be careful using fireworks.
Otherwise, you deserve the label of “M80 deaf boy.”
