Dan, Mike, a box of firecrackers, and a 16th floor dorm room...
Dan and Mike had this genius idea to toss firecrackers out of Dan's 16th floor dorm room window. Of course, the designers of the building had thought of this possibility and mounted permanent screens on all of the windows. Mike figured out that if he wedged himself against the wall and put his feet against the screen frame, he could created a 1 inch gap at the bottom of the screen. So Dan would light firecrackers and drop them through the gap. They would go off before hitting the ground. Well, one missed the gap, bounced off the screen, and landed on Dan's bed. When it went off, it set his sheets on fire. Dan and Mike put out the fire and came down to my room to wait out the smoke clearing. Perhaps the funniest part of this story was that Dan was able to repair his bed sheets. He had a pair of flannel boxer shorts that were the same exact pattern as his sheets that he used to cover the burned portion.
