Trying to break coconut with a bomb

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

One man used unexploded shell to open a coconut fruit to drink. He thought the shell works only with the gun attached, according to his friends. While others discouraged him, he went on to hit the coconut with the sharp corner of the unexploded shell. He could open the cocunt but he is dead before consuming it. Shell exploded.

We get lots of stories involving idiocy with munitions of all sorts, but I think this one is original enough to accept. Thanks, Ajith!
