Drilling holes in the first shell went smoothly, but encountered explosive results on the second. Mr Grill was listed in serious condition after the explosion sent shrapnel into his arms, chest and groin. Being crafty is brilliant. Failing to ensure artillery is not live before attacking it with power tools is brilliantly stupid.

We haven't had one of these in a while, and since this fellow was older than the usual crop of folks who try this stunt, I think he should have known better! Thanks Lynn Marie!
