I had completely forgotten about that. Seems that, during the 60's, they
even had a TV commercial about the dangers of blasting caps. Must have been
a lot of them around, I guess.

Reminds me of the guy they sent around every year to the grade schools who
lectured on never picking up blasting caps. He had almost no fingers. It
made an impression on me. I can still see his mangled hands today.
