I made a lemon launcher out of pvc. It worked great. Had me a 50th birthday party feed at the house with about 50 folks showing up. Me and my bud Art were Q'ing some meat and drinking some brews and were pretty lit. We all sat down to eat outside and I brought out the lemons and the launcher. Everybody was ooohing and ahhhing and then my bud suggested we shoot it straight up and see how close we could get the lemon to land by us. Welllll .....the first lemon came down about 60 feet away so we re positioned and the second came down right smack dab in the middle of my Mom's plate of food. MZ R and Art's wife jumped our butts and told us to quit, and we should have, but.......we didn't. Everybody but us 2 went into the house. Luckily for me you only have one 50th birthday.
