popping pocket 
2003 Reader Submission

It was a cool summer night when a buddy and myself, both age 22 at the time, decided to venture out into the woods near by for a small fire, a beer or two and a few puffs of the weed. We started the fire, cracked open a few brews and my buddy pulled a little bullet pipe from his pocket which he had packed with some fine greens earlier.
For those that don't know, a bullet pipe is a small metal pipe that somewhat resembles a bullet. The thing is, and anyone who has ever smoked from one will tell you, they get very hot when used and become difficult to handle. So, we sat there passing it back and forth until it was empty and so hot we could hardly handle it.
y buddy then put the pipe back in his pocket and sat leaning forward while sipping on his brew.
Why he didn't put it on the ground to cool off I'll never know but for whatever reason he put it in his pocket.
aybe a minute went by, when suddenly a flash went off in his pocket along with a popping sound. He grabbed his groin in pain and screamed at the top of his lungs. It turns out, he also had his lighter in that pocket and the heat of the pipe had melted the plastic lighter just enough to make it explode.
While he didn't remove himself from the gene pool,entirely, he did do a little damage to his nuts which were basically in the direct line of fire. He never went to the doctor to get it checked out but he's now 38 years old, married.. with no kids. There's no confirmation that the incident has prevented him from reproducing but We still joke about it and I always remind him how our elders had told us as youngsters that, "smoking that crap will make you sterile"
