Grenade Blast Kills Bride at Wedding
2004-02-23
Another major wedding faux pas...
A grenade exploded at a wedding in eastern Ethiopia, killing the bride and three other people, state-run Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) reported on Friday.
Wonder if it was gonna be a gift?
In Ethiopia’s remote, rural communities it is not uncommon for guests to have gun sex shoot off fire their guns in the air at weddings in wild jubilation, although incidents involving grenades are rare.
Which is a good thing, I guess. A proper wedding planner should have foreseen this.
"A grenade fell from a belt of an individual during a group dance at a wedding ceremony at Hamyao Sera farmers’ community in eastern Ethiopia killing four persons including the bride who was participating in the dance last Saturday," ENA said. Police called on people owning illegal weapons such as grenades to hand them to the authorities for their own safety.
I will give up my grenade when they peel it from my cold, dead bride’s hand.
Ethiopians must have a license to own a firearm.
But not grenades, evidently...

#2  like in the movies?

Well if that is all it takes, we should send them a bunch of Looney Tunes where they fire from the wrong end of a gun. Or possibly, the Rabbit Season - Duck Season series.
