I think I'm about to go through a temporary phase in life that will consist of trying very hard to not laugh at people who are swaying ever so slightly in the breeze and looking confused, having found the tallest petard in a five mile radius to scramble onto.

(I work in oil with conservatives now & some are True Believers. Unfortunately our safety guy would have a fit if started hauling in petards with no paperwork.)
I don’t know the last time I thought of the phrase “Hoist by his own petard”, let alone if I ever looked up what a petard is.
