The Porta-Potty Is Always The Last Resort

You have to admit whenever you're attending a big event. One of the first things you'll do is assess the restroom set-up. Hopefully, you're not in a porta-potty situation. They are the worst and so darn disgusting.

Who Doesn't Love Fireworks?

We just celebrated the 4th of July, the highlight of the holiday is fireworks. Don't get me wrong, I love the big fancy professional displays but I much prefer putting on my own show. I think part of the thrill is that they're illegal in Illinois. You have to take that covert trip up to Wisconsin to buy them.

The Thrill Of Blowing Off Fireworks

When I was young, my parents wouldn't let me have fireworks. I think that led to my misuse of them when I got older. I remember a kid on my block always had them. His parents didn't care. We would dry to blow things up. Our go-to was old toys. One time we put some firecrackers in a mailbox. The thing was destroyed. It freaked us out so much we didn't repeat the stunt.

Illinois Idiot Blows Up Porta-Potty

Unfortunately, most people don't learn from others' mistakes. They just have to figure it out on their own. An Illinois idiot decided to take fireworks and light them off inside a porta-potty. It blew up. I start gagging just thinking about the disgusting mess. The incident happened in Wheaton.

According to patch.com,

Someone lit fireworks inside a porta-potty at Atten Park, 1720 Wiesbrook Rd., according to police. The explosion took place sometime between 11 p.m. on June 25 and 7:30 a.m. on June 26.
