    I don't think I would ever hold the sucker when shooting it off- we dig a small hole in the ground in case the chamber goes. Great conversation starter. Also use your imagination-ammo not limited to potatoes.

    I've made enough bombs.

    dont need one under my arm. No way would I shoot one of those.
    My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.
