Resident Explosives Expert

Not everone can say they have a resident explosives expert. Moi? Yep. Useful? Yep.

CG was an Army Engineer with a light Infantry unit . He loved giving a description of his job as, "I blow shit up." His fave was collecting champagne magnums to use as shape charges. He was also an "Expert" with the M-16 and M-4,(roawr, sexy) but I digress.

As we watch trash t.v., a Lethal Weapon scene flickers on the screen of a toilet bomb.

Me sceptically: "That seems like an awful large amount of plastic to blow up one guy?"

CG: "Yep."

Me with admiring smile and "Grasshopper" reverance: "How much would you need to blow up a man on a toilet?"

C.G. casually: "To kill him or make him disappear?"

Me clearly enthusiastic with my explosives lesson: "Um, both."

C.G. gives me recipe which I won't post here, lest I hear about some guy disappearing in his "second office." However, how cool is it to be able to test Hollywood scenes for reality with one's very own G.I. Joe?
