manufacture a potatoe cannon.

Gheez!!!! And all along I thought we had fun, taping sensors so machines
wouldn't run, taping the guy who fell asleep onto his chair, removing tires
& wheels from co-workers cars, etc....

The best one I remember at a fourth of July work party - a friend showed up
with a cylinder of helium and a cylinder of acetylene. He proceeded to fill
six large balloons with helium to lift two balloons filled with acetylene.
Five foot long cannon fuses were attached to each acetylene balloon,
ignited, and allowed to drift to the heavens. Ten minutes later, there was a
blinding white flash which lit up the entire valley, then the loudest boom I
ever heard. Some of the neighbors who ended up with broken windows were not
too happy!
