Caddyshack in Germany

A 47-year-old gardener working for the town of Sulza (Thuringia, Germany) tried to get rid of the Miles which had infested a part of a Public park. So far, so good - that's part of his job. But his method left a lot to be desired, because he buried a firework cracker into the molehill, lit the fuse and planted a foot on it! Luckily enough, the man "only" received major wounds on the foot and eye (!). An honorable mention is well deserved here imho, but this man could actually aspire for more in His years to come.

While idiocy with fireworks is quite commonplace I'm willing to accept this HM since it's a bit different than most of the others, and id does invoke images of a movie that I do enjoy. Thanks, Andreas!
