Unexpected

Be careful what you collect as a souvenir. It could be very dangerous. Steve Martin is a Texas man whose son found a 20-pound iron cylinder while fishing. He placed it on his desk for several years. A visitor with the military said that it could be a live bomb and carried it out to the base and confirmed that the artillery shell was live and he safely disposed of it. What Steve thought was just an antique bomb shell that looked neat turned out to be a potentially dangerous bomb. What things do you have in your life today that might look good and be interesting and be a good conversation piece—but could be a deconstructed bomb? Check it out carefully before you continue to display it in a prominent place. Don’t wait for somebody else to come in and see it and warn you about it.
