Takes leftover firecrackers and duds, and takes them apart and fills an empty CO2 cylinder from a Daisy BB gun, and inserts M80 fuse into cylinder … it goes BOOM!
I cannot recall doing this.

what I hate is the lack of accountability these days... people come in to the clinic and they are not better.. they did not take their meds, did not come in for a follow up as told, then one year later they blame me that they are not better....
apparently it's my job to be their nanny, remind them that they need to see their doctor and if they don't feel well, it's my fault...
how about getting off the couch, walking and getting exercise and taking your meds or at least stop eating ice cream everyday...

That's Mr. Spock.... Dr. Spock is a pediatrician that published a book that moved away from teaching self-discipline and instead catering to the child.
