More like a large portion of the nation’s weed supply.

Joe Dirt: So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no black cats, no Roman Candles, or screaming mimis?

Kicking Wing: No.

Joe Dirt: Oh come on, man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?

Kicking Wing: No, I don't.

Joe Dirt: You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?

Kicking Wing: No... because snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.

Joe Dirt: Well that might be your problem, it's not what you like, it's the consumer.

===============

Thank you, Joe Dirt. You taught me to sell the good stuff

We used to do that. My late Father in law and I had a lot of fun with sparklers, duct tape, and a blow torch.

He died four years ago tomorrow. Great memories.

Maine recently legalized fireworks after a long-standing ban. Today, a bomb went off rattling my windows. I sounded like a building blew up.

No screaming, no sirens.
