webfact Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Satun man killed while cleaning grenade By The Nation A man in Satun province was killed on Wednesday morning when a grenade he was cleaning exploded. The man had been keeping the grenade in his house for a year, police said. Prasert Chuayjit, 59, was killed in his house in Ban Tha Chin village in Tambon Klong Khud, Muang district, at around 7am. The blast tore off his left arm and the shrapnel disfigured his face. His son told police that Prasert had found the grenade a year ago and he liked to take it out for cleaning now and then although his children had warned him against doing so. Pol Colonel Witchaphan Chantaraporn, commander of the investigation division of the Satun Police head office, said Prasert had no record of violent crimes or political violence.

They could've used his expertise at the local barracks cleaning all their stock grenades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Some men play with cards. Some with cars. Some with women, and some with video games. Never heard of a man playing with a grenade. Beyond comprehension. An old professor of mine used to love to say "there are many things that people say and do that are completely beyond my ability to grasp, or understand". Great line. It really seems to apply to an abundance of situations here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 What kind of imbecile periodically cleans his favorite hand grenade in the house? I guess the answer to that question is -- a dead one with his arm blown off and his face disfigured. Darwinism at work once again in Thailand.
