Jacksonville man burned when he fires rocket at girlfriend | ||||
2004-03-30 | ||||
Shannon Kramer’s plans to fire a rocket toward his girlfriend went awry when the firework ricocheted inside his car and dived between his legs, bursting in a display that burned hair and skin from his feet to his groin, police said. Kramer, 35, told The Florida Times-Union he lit a fuse on the 6-inch-rocket, but wasn’t able to get it out the window of his Ford Mustang before it went off.

#17 let me see, if his mustang was pre-1990, then yeah - I'd say mullet action. If he was in a camaro then he's definitely sporting a kentucky waterfall..... |

#13 When I was a kid, it became very hard to buy Estes rocket motors because vandals were throwing them into phone booths with fuses lit. I always wondered what would happen to person stupid enough to ignite the fuse while he himself – I have decided to exclude females from this psychosis based on personal experience, as I never met a pubescent girl pyro - was inside the booth. I wonder no longer. I have patiently waited nearly 30 years for a zipperhead to answer this question for me. I even suffered through Jackass the Movie in hopes of gaining this knowledge. A wise man once said that good things come to those who wait. I would like to add that 3rd degree burns to the scrotum come to those who have twisted ideas and no patience. |

#8 Redneck wants a budget vasectomy, Doc gives him a big ol' firecracker, tells him to light it and count to 10, knowing he'd have to put it between his legs while he uses both hands to count to 10..... |

#7 redneck vasectomy joke OK, Frank, let's have it. (I don't get around much so I realize I'm prolly the only one hasn't heard it) |

#6 Ahhh... Jacksonville. Panama City without the beach. You have to keep in mind that Jacksonville is only 55 miles from Fargo Ga., 45 Miles from Raiford, 60 miles from Kings Bay. It's a strange mix and used to be stranger. If there was a RedNeck Secret Command Post it could very well be in the basement of the Seaboard Bldg. |

#5 Look at the bright side, he avoided a Darwin award -- barely. I dont know about that. He only had to make himself unable to contribute to the genepool to get a Darwin -- his death is not exactly required (but is usually the method of being unable...). Course now they will be calling him 'ole stumpy'.... |

#3 Seconds later, after the rocket blasted around inside the car... I'd have paid to see that. A human version of Wile E. Coyote. |
