A Long Island man accidentally set his rental car ablaze in an effort to kill bed bugs, police say.

Authorities say 44-year-old Scott Kemery poured rubbing alcohol on the bed bugs because he thought it would do the trick. Then, he lit a cigarette, setting himself and three cars on fire.

"He said he had bedbugs in the car, and someone told him if he saturated them with alcohol, it would kill them," Det. Sgt. Edward Fitzgerald told Newsday. "So he went and bought some alcohol, he poured it all in there and he sat in his car and lit a cigarette.”

Kemery was treated at a local hospital for second-degree burns, but will be OK.

...Reading through all these posts, did no one read past the first sentence? Is everyone so witty they only take half a sentence to think of a joke and need to post it before someone else does?

Then, he lit a cigarette, setting himself and three cars on fire.

How did he manage to set THREE cars on fire?

Oops, I didn't know that it was a requirement that the candidate die. Sorry.

It's not.

The requirement is that you remove yourself from the gene pool.

We have a Mangled Genitals ping list to cover that particular base...

They have to die or be incapable of reproducing.

The genital mutilation accidents are particularly cringe-worthy.

I don’t recommend them for women, let alone men.

Man burns down house trying to kill spider

No, no, no, Scott. You douse the bedbugs in a recommended insecticide, then you light the cigarette . . .

DANG!

How did he manage to set THREE cars on fire?

Maybe he had seen that there were bedbugs in all three.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Please add me to the Mangled Genitals ping list. Thanks.

Ah, well, uh, um, I can’t.

I don’t run that list.

Can’t remember if it’s martin_fierro or SunkenCiv or?

[martin_fierro]

No, no, no

I maintain the Mangled Genitals Ping List.

Sunky *has* the mangled genitals.

In the epic phrasing of my daughter who would put it thusly and succinctly: eew.

[TheOldLady]

Your daughter is eloquent. I understand eew.

The diatomaceous earth tickles them so much they die laughing. ;)

You could get some good sun tea going in a hot car here in the southwest.

No, it didn’t work. The cop said he’s going to be alright.

Now I have to think up a new story to convince him to inadvertently off himself.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hey, as long as you put me on the list, I don’t care if both of you have mangled genitals.

Apropos of nothing, web surfing gives a whole new meaning to the term "hunt and peck".
