What is the most stupid thing you ever did?

[Calif. Hunter]

I found a Daisy BB gun by the side of the road in a then-rural area of Orange County. Being about 8 or 9, and knowing that no sane person would lose or throw away a perfectly good, working BB gun, I dropped a little rock down the barrel and cocked the gun. Yep - I place my finger over the muzzle and shot it. The pain was intense.

I have, hopefully, gotten smarter in the 40 years since then.
