A few years ago, a couple of geniuses got the bright idea to drive around a local neighborhood and throw illegal fireworks at houses in the middle of the night. They pulled up to the first house, genius one holds out the bottle rocket, genius two lights it, but when genius one goes to throw it, he discovers he has forgotten to roll down the car window. Rocket goes off in a very small subcompact car. Both geniuses sustained pretty serious burns. Newscaster reading the story cracked me up, “Police suspect alcohol may have been involved.” Gee, ya’ think?

Good thing they were drunk, that might’ve hurt.

And now the little "dorm" sized refrigerators come with flammable refrigerant.

That’s got to be it. But why would he spray himself before the cigarette was out?

He was severely burned, according to the article.

One year the fire department came to our elementary school and gave a fire prevention presentation. Pretty neat. They had a cut away house that showed home smoke could travel and they even lit it off., causing a small bang.

The real fun is when they showed us the dangers of sparks, heat and flame when combined with aerosol cans, by spraying something and putting a lighter to it.

The next day out on the school yard, there we were, comparing notes on our own home experiments. Aqua Net hairspray produced some very cool looking blue flames!

He did.

But he lit up another before the alcohol from the spray had a chance to dissipate.

Saw something similar happen to a girl who had just sprayed her hair. This was during the time Big Hair was the style and before they made it against the law to smoke in the public restrooms.

Ay yi yi!

Good thing there was a lot of water around.

Sounds like he wasn’t smoking tobacco.

Pick your favorite brand...

Attention high school and college morons:

This is your next mission. Get rid of the Tide Pods. Today begin to play the body spray in a car game. Repeat. Today. You will not get hurt.
