Whats the most idiotic thing

Smoking at a petrol station

Leeson St been a one way Street.

So when I did my military service, 25 odd years ago (not in ireland), I did training on tanks and armoured vehicles. Generally you rotate through (driver, gunner, commander etc) the different roles and while doing the gunner section of the training (there's nothing like firing off 120mm explosive rounds!) I had a misfire. So essentially we had the target and fired and 'plooff', nothing happens.

Now you're sitting in a tiny metal compartment with a primed 120mm explosive round that's just not been fired. This is where the Darwin awards come in. Standard process to remove the round (back then, hoping they've changed it since), was a general evacuation of everyone to at least 250m from the tank. Everyone that is, except the gunner. This isn't where I found out it's my role to gently remove the round, climb out of this metal coffin (one handed!) with a round that weighs more than your mothers weekly shop, and proceed to carry it (remember it's live, could go off at anytime) some distance down the firing range.

Assuming you make it ( I did, as did most others I heard), the rest of the squadron then has a hell of time taking pot shots at it to detonate it 'safely'.

Didn't think anything of it until years later.

Cigarettes won't light fuel. It's a myth

Challenge accepted .

Saw somebody on 18 at a blackjack table saying 'hit me' and going bust about a decade ago. He lost about the equivalent of about €700.

He was utterly convinced that a 3 was coming. He was certain. Everybody was telling him to stick on 18, that it was crazy. The dealer even called a superior over to ensure that they were sure they wanted another card, or just to witness the whole thing in the event of a complaint/tantrum.

In the end he just took it without emotion. Stopped playing a few deals later though.
