Grenades come with a standard fuse, but it's easy to change it. If I got a grenade from somebody, I would NOT assume it's a standard fuse.

Damn lucky it blew under water or those two would be eligible for a Darwin.

On the Time Bandit, Dave "Beaver" Zielinski attempts to celebrate a Seahawks victory with fireworks and shatters his hand when it goes off. The crew tells Captain Andy that they need the medical kit, but it is far worse than expected, and they call the clinic in town to prepare for his arrival. Johnathan drives him to the hospital, and Seahawks lose to Atlanta at the very last minute of the game.

I fish for pleasure, give the fish a chance was my way of doing it.
I also enjoy a nice fish sandwich while watching football.
... and ... I don't have any fireworks hanging around the house.
