A+ on both design and execution.

I had an uncle who protected the outhouse on an Indian reservation the same way.

Yes.

He was the first person to wire a head for a reservation...

This reminds me of a movie scene call the Shuttered Room with Oliver Reed and Carol Lynley. There is a scene where a dude he was driving or skiing on gravel, when WHAM!! he plows right into a barbed wire fence.

Well he got the Booby Prize for springing his own Booby Trap!

FYI, in those WW2 movies where you see a metal rod sticking straight up from a Jeep’s front bumper - the idea of a thin wire across a road is nothing new!

At age 50, it is likely he had already reproduced, and if so he can’t be awarded a Darwin win of any kind, IIRC.

“I’ll bet he didn’t even consider what he would do if he was successful...
Yeah I was wondering that as well. How did he expect to explain a decapitated body? “

Blame it on the nearest Muslim?

Ouch. You know the difference between a drunk driver & a stoned driver?

The drunk driver will blow right past a stop sign. The stoned driver will wait for it to turn green.

When I was in RVN, booby traps were technically illegal, as per the Geneva Convention. We used to set up “automatic ambushes” instead. The rule was that whoever set it up had to go collect it when we left the area.

The Viet Cong used such traps in Viet Nam. Most of our Jeeps had “Giap Bars” attached to the front bumper to cut the wires before they would decapitate us. The name derived from the infamous NVN general.
