Norman came in from the field one day to find his mother using her hands to carefully smooth piles of manure over her watermelon patch. “Ma,” he said, “I’ve got an easier way to do that.” Taking a stick of dynamite, he lit it and tossed it under a nearby outhouse. What Norman didn’t know was that his grandmother was using the facilities at that moment.
When the TNT blew, it vaporized the outhouse and launched grandma fifty feet in the air. She landed in the watermelon patch with a thud. “Granny!” yelled Norman, “Are you okay?”
The feisty old woman got up slowly. “I reckon I am,” she said. “All I can say is I’m glad I didn’t let THAT one go in the house!”
