2015 Slush Pile

Ripe tomato

2015 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Slovenia, especially region around river Soča is notorious for remains of first and second world war. However there are still more than enough people, who can't resist poking a live grenade, when they see one and as a result the area should also be notorious for pretty high rate of Darwins.

However this is a near miss which should be mentioned because of the extreme stupidity of both dumbfucks involved.

There are more than enough of our finest who defy common stereotype about policemen having more vacuum in the attic than - say - a common street thug, but still some just painfully try to confirm it. Our subjects were enjoying the pension at the release from the force (for reasons I dear not speculate about) and the merry fellows with too much time on their hands obtained one OTO-M35 (known as 'tomato' for its distinct red colour) on one of their adventures. Playing with old munitions with corroded triggers is one thing, playing with world war 2 era 'tomatoes' feared for their habit of exploding in your face for no reason whatsoever even when handled properly is another, bringing one into a town and play throw and catch with it in the middle of the square is just plain retarded which they hopefully realized after waking up with a bit less bits attached than they remembered having. By incredible amount of luck (as well as fact that fascists were just naturally unable to produce good weapons) no other persons were harmed.

It's hard to believe it, and even media were too embarrassed to cover it much. They did however. With more or less details.

So if you find something metal and red and is not a can of beer abandoned in the forrest, please leave it the fuck alone.

1) Retired cops, who should know better. 2) A very distinctive color labeling the object as explosive. 3) PLAYING CATCH with said object. Thanks, Matjaz!
