I bet there are a few other humorous stories >about testing flares. Yup. I work for an outdoor retailer which sells kayaking equipment, among other things. Last year an individual asked to be handed a flare from behind the counter, so he could examine the instructions. He dutifully followed the "unscrew cap, pull chain" directions, and launched a fireball skipping down the department. Fortunatly no people or merchandise was damaged, but the scorch marks are still visible in the carpet.
