Oh wait! I've got one. I may have shared this already another time; I don't know. Anyway we have one of those little electric coffee grinders... you put the beans in there, put the lid on, then push the button. One day I was grinding coffee and it didn't stop when I let up on the button. I thought, well, the switch is stuck, I'll just take the top off.

Coffee grounds flew everywhere before I realized I should UNPLUG it. That's the only time that's ever happened. Unless it's happened to Mister and he just hasn't told me....

A couple weeks ago we took our blackpowder rifles over to a friend's for a little target shooting. One of them is a percussion-cap rifle Mister inherited from my dad. Before loading it, Mister decided to pop a couple of caps on it to make sure it wasn't clogged up or anything - but didn't run the ramrod down it. Daddy hadn't been hunting in about 5-6 years - no way it was loaded. So he popped a cap. And popped another cap. Decided to pop one more, and .... BOOOOOOM! He turned around white as a ghost and said, That was NOT supposed to happen.

Daddy had left a pretty good load in that rifle! It blew a hole in the dirt bigger than your fist. We decided it was Daddy's last joke from beyond the grave. I could see him laughing.
