Plunge Blasting Machines are no longer used, but “Fire In The Hole,” is still used as a warning for a blast. (Retired Mining Engineer)
People used to ask me why did you go into Mining? My reply, “Some people have to grow up, work in an office and stare at a computer screen all day. I get to play with really big trucks and blow stuff up!” Seemed like an obvious choice at the time.
I was at a small hardware store with a friend when I saw a traffic cone on the floor. I put it on my head and said, “I’ll get you, my pretty. And your little dog too!” The clerk laughed, but my supposed friend was not amused.

For years, I have put down the handles on suitcases, and I never once thought of this joke.
I envy Jimmy.

Boys may stop grow into men. But men stop developing at 10 years. I know! 8^ )

Don’t do that in an airport, you’ll get arrested.

Arlo’s got the confidence. I always did the “ka-Boom” silently in my head.

I finally found the courage to tell my suitcases there will be no holiday abroad this year.
Now, I’m dealing emotional baggage.

Husband: The kids haven’t eaten their sandwiches
Wife: “Ok, just throw them out”
[Later while helping the kids pack a suitcase]
Husband: “Look, I’m as surprised as you are”

I always thought “fire in the hole” was what happens after you eat red-hot chili peppers.

There are two types of men in the world. Those that will admit to doing this and liars.

Janis, if you can’t have as much fun as Arlo does putting luggage away, you should just let him have his moment.
