When I lived in Tampa I had a neighbor that would dump his mortgage payment into fireworks a couple of times a year.
I usually ran the sprinklers a couple of hours beforehand just to keep from going up in smoke.
I think the last time he did this he & his wife ended up on Judge Judy. Apparently their rockets shot across the back yards into the screened patio of a neighbor and scared the shit out of the wife & her little doggie.
Funniest Judge Judy I've ever been forced to watch. And yes, he lost the case
