German puts out cigarette with fire extinguisher
Tue Feb 19, 12:38 PM ET
A virulent anti-smoker in Germany was so angry when his girlfriend lit up he emptied a fire extinguisher to put out the cigarette, caking her and their apartment in powder.
"My colleagues said it looked like a bomb had gone off in there," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Bielefeld. "He managed to put the cigarette out though."
After the woman ignored his request not to smoke, the 42-year-old sprayed the contents of the extinguisher all around the flat shouting abuse, police said.
"He said he wasn't bothered by the damage it caused," the spokesman said. "And that he's through with his girlfriend."

Ich bin ein fire ‘guisher.
No Kiddeing.
Shortly after the incident, the man was interviewed as he smoked a doobie to calm down from the confrontation...
Back in the 80’s a drunken friend once thought it would be hillarious letting loose a fire extinguisher in a rented vacation condo.
Well after about 4 hours when all the white powder smoke cleared every flat surface in the entire place was covered with powder, even the walls.
After he took a shot of extinguisher right in the face for doing it we attempted to clean it up with wet rags.
Well the wet rags apparently reacted with the powder and destroyed everything.
My other bud who rented the place was sued for thousands.
Real bad scene...
