    Many years ago, I was visiting a chap. On the mantelpiece in his den were some militaria. One item was a 36M. Had a quick look at it, and asked him if he knew it was live. He did, but it was OK because it did not have the igniter set installed...

    I hit the auctions and pawn shops with a buddy of mine. He does diamonds and gold and knows nothing about guns/militaria (we make quite the pair walking into pawn shops: "Show us your gold and guns.")
    Anyway, we went to an auction a few weeks ago and I came away with two dummy 50lb bombs. We got about 30 minutes into our drive back home and he sheepishly asks, "so, uh, those aren't real, right?" Haha, I had to commend him for holding in his worries for that long!
