As Independence Day approaches, make sure you know what to do on this Fourth of July, as well as what not to do, by looking at the items below.

Attire

Obviously red, white and blue colors are necessary for the patriotic holiday, you can never go wrong with enough of our nation’s colors.

Let Them Sleep

Do not be the guy in a neighborhood to set off fireworks at midnight. Kids could be sleeping and this can result in a fine.

A Patriotic Treat

Do make assorted cakes and cookies with red, white and blue icing on them, everybody loves those.

Don’t Be The Bum At The Party

If you decide to shoot off fireworks, do not take other people’s fireworks. Get your own. They don’t come cheap.

Snap, Crackle, Ambulance

Roman candle fights will be fun until someone gets hurt, avoid them at all means possible. If you decide to use them, take extra precaution.

One Arm Willy

Don’t hold fireworks in your hands – your fingers don’t grow back.

Yards On Fire

Make sure to screw down the artillery shell tube to something so it doesn’t fall over and ruin someone’s night.

PoPo 5-0

Do not set off fireworks in city limits, nobody likes to pay a fine for celebrating their country’s independence.

Ants In Your Pants… Literally

If you decide to put a firecracker in an ant pile, make sure you stand far enough away.

Frogs Can Not Fly

Bottle rockets inside a bullfrog sounds like fun, but let’s save the reptiles this Fourth of July.
