I Got Grounded

For a science fair in high school when I was a freshman, I constructed what could have become an atomic bomb, the only missing ingredient was plutonium. "I made this," I said to everybody, "I constructed this device very easily. Imagine the potential of someone much more educated than me, but take that a step further, imagine if they were angry." I dropped out of high school thereafter shortly, and graduated from The University of The State of NY with a GED. Oh, and my science project was seized by my local police. No charges were filed against yours truly, but I left both the police and all at the science fair in a state of disbelief, and needless to say, my parents grounded me.
