In honor of International Joke Day, here are a few that we hope you'll remember:1. “Bought $50 worth of fireworks. Spent $5,000 on the ER bill. Boom.”2. “One second it was freedom and fun. The next, a helicopter ride to the trauma center.”3. “Happy 4th! Nothing says independence like being dependent on nurses for a month.”4. “He posted the launch on Instagram. The next post was from the hospital.”5. "He wanted to go out with a bang... now he’s just out one hand."🚫 La Verne has a zero-tolerance policy for the sale, possession, and use of any and all fireworks. This includes so-called "Safe & Sane" fireworks.
