I just wanted to warn all of my friends about something that has been
occurring more and more lately, all through out the country.
Groups of teenagers have been caught, in alarming numbers, playing a
new and dangerous game called Spunkball. Spunkball consists of a
group of teens in a car pulling up to a stop light, and looking around
for a car stopped near by with an open window. When one is spotted,
the teens shout, "Spunkball," and throw a gasoline soaked rag that has
been wrapped in aluminum foil threw the open window. On the outside
of the foil is attached a small fire cracker, with the fuse lit. When
the fire cracker explodes, it shreds the foil, and the rag is ignited,
causing a large flame that may catch the interior of the car on fire.
Spunkball playing has already claimed two lives, caused uncountable
injuries due to burns, and caused thousands of dollars in damage to
automobiles. The best defense, say authorities, is to keep all
windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with
windows down are being targeted.
If you are at a red-light and hear a shout of "Spunkball," and notice
something come flying in your window, the best thing to do is to have
all passengers immediately exit the vehicle. DO NOT try to retrieve
the object, as it will ignite once the fire cracker explodes.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT.
