Fireworks Safety Slogans
Today is Territory Day in NT (the only Australian State where the public can buy fireworks) and with 4th of July Celebrations approaching, our readers are asking for firework safety slogans. Unfortunately there aren’t many around so I made up a few myself. If you can do better then leave send then in your comments below:
- If you fool around with fireworks you’re crackers
- They aren’t called FIRE WORKS for nothing
- Don’t let the number of hand and eye injuries SKYROCKET
Best I can do at short notice!
Few more from a reader:
- never handle a Roman Candle
- stand well back when you light the fuse or your eyes again you will never use
- Only jerks fool with fire works
