So Daniel has this sweet water balloon launcher that is like a giant slingshot and you need three people to work it. They were out on the roof and there was a party on a roof diagonal from them. Maybe like 50 feet away. The kids were drunk and boisterous (it was a friday afternoon) and egging on Daniel to hit them with a water balloon. Being the social misfit that he is, he wanted to show the cool kids that he was tuff and the man ain't shit. So he fired one off. Forunately, the water balloon didn't hit anyone. However, it did hit a window with enough force to break through the storm window and shatter into a young woman's bedroom. She screamed. And of course coming home from his lunch break was the RLC (something like an RA I'm guessing, but he's an adult and he gets paid to do this) and he saw the whole thing. Daniel ran over to the girl's room swept up the shattered glass and then ran to the RLC's office. He got away without punishment because he was so nice about coming clean, but he still has to pay $50. And that' why you don't shoot water balloon launchers at people, or windows for that matter. It reminds me of the time when my brother shot his bedroom window with a BB gun and wouldn't admit to it and I was pretty sure that he wouldn't make it to the next day before my parents killed him. But he's still alive. P.S. Drew, Today I'm sucking it up and pushing it up. But I think I'm too afraid to go outdoors with it on. Maybe I'll be ready in a couple of years, after my first child. Just kidding.
