Wait wait wait. Hold the phone. This guy had three breakups that ended badly? But he was always nice when he came into the liquor store. What could have gone wrong?
I mean what is the first thing you do with a new vibrator? Turn it on. All duder would have done is blow their hands off, assuming he could even make a detonator.
If this had taken place in Texas, the dildo would have been illegal, but once you armed it with explosives and buckshot, it would become a concealed weapon, and therefore legal.
