That’ll show him!

just don’t cut them together!

The one thing you NEVER want to hear a bomb disposal tech say is: “Oooops, oh bleeep RUN!”

That was a good try……

Danae in bomb disposal?? I always pictured her more the mad bomber type!

Oh yeah? The red wire instantly transports you to school.

Only if you want to get fancy, Nab. If you can achieve terror with a smoker in your shorts, who needs deuterium or centrifuges?

I love Danae’s expression in the first frame. Priceless! Dad’s been down this path before.

According to the official bomb defusing instructions:

bottom of page 27: Cut the red wire

top of page 28: immediately after you cut the blue wire

Nice try, Danae, but it was doomed to fail.

She could not remember how to shut off the alarm clock…

Now with modern bombs, you have to cut the red and white wire without disturbing the white and red wire. Be very careful and think twice before the boom.

A note to the EOD HR Department: The new amendments to Disability Rights Act requires you to bring your employment profile into compliance with the general population. This includes the mandatory 7%+ of red-green color blindness.

Good try, Danae! Definitely creative.

Back to work here as well. Good thoughts to all who are getting out of vacation-mode.

When I was in Kuwait, one of the EOD techs had a T shirt with this text on the back:

“If you can read this, and I’m running, FOLLOW ME!”

Trust her. she knows what she’s doing.

Oh, Danae, nice try, but no Dynamite.

Troublemakers always ride in the back of the bus.

fishstiks Dont be so hard on yourself.I’m sure you did your part before that day.If not;then you’re right.ALWAYS CUT THE BLUE WIRE

Yes–and no doubt the bomb had a nice red LED display on the front to count down the seconds left–which stopped at :02…

So, no fireworks this time.

good thing it wasn’t “eat me” or “drink me”. but then again, seeing her with the mad hatter…

Some day the terrorists are going to get smart and either:

A. Use a single color for ALL of the wires

or

B. Use solid-state technology. (Which has only been around for, what, 60 years…)

Assembly Instruction pg4 14) Take one Black wire in each hand. 15) Attach wire in left hand to terminal D. 16) Attach right hand wire to terminal DD. Note: Crossing these wires will result in immediate detonation. 17)…

Never worked for me either.

Actually, Lord Dogmore, I suspect no one ever hears more than “O…” and usually a good deal less!

Just dont cut any wires and let the dard thing blow up

Puddleglum Excellent!!

D-i-c-e-R I can personally vouch for that!!

i dont get it.

Puddleglum1066, you made me laugh out loud…thanks!!
