Letterman ran a new (to me anyway) gag tonight called 'will it
explode'... I missed the first part, but think it was one of those deals
where Dave and Paul try to predict if some object/s will explode when
dumped off the roof of his building in New York.

Tonight was a bunch of fire extingushers... I saw it from across the
room, but think they all stayed intact. Then later, going to commercial,
they had a camera outside looking around at them.

After reading the account here of the gentleman and his wife having one
come unglued, it scared the hell out of me just to watch it...

Just my .02 cents worth...

He's been doing this gag for a *long* time. Back when he was second
banana on NBC following Carson, he found the best thing to drop. That
was a sack of flour with a burning streamer attached. Big dust explosion,
mushroom cloud.

My dad told me about a commander he had on Guadalcanal while flying
P-39's. I seem to recall the word "idiot". The commander wanted them
to practice bombing using the inane procedure of chunking little
colored sacks of flour out of the windows of the P-39 at targets
painted on roofs around Henderson (the P-39 had roll down windows to
go with the car doors). Dad sailed a sack at the target on top the
dispensary, and instead sent it through the screen door as someone
came out. Poof! That ended the experiment.

Probably homeland security won't let him show any of the ones where
it goes boom anymore!
