A drunken man with a lit cigarette passed out on the toilet in a Spanaway, Washington Walmart bathroom and caught his underwear on fire Monday, according to Central Pierce Fire & Rescue.

Firefighters were dispatched to the store at 20307 Mountain Highway E. about 6:30 p.m. after fire alarms went off, Central Pierce spokesman Brian Levings said Wednesday.

They went to the store and found the bathroom filled with smoke.

The man slept through all this, Levings added.

Seems like a regular day at Walmart

Pretty much

The price is a nice touch...

I don’t believe this.

I’d like to see a re-creation of this incident on Mythbusters.

Drunk, passed out in the toilet, with your pants on fire is no way to go through life.

His shorts were burning hot enough to set off the smoke detectors, but he didn’t wake up?

Must be Rip Van Stinkle to sleep through this.

Was his name Mo hammed? Are we sure it wasn't B Jenner who identified as a male?

Given the headline and the source, I initially assumed this was Dave Barry reporting on another ho-hum day in Florida.

The store manager at their next meeting....

“OK, we are going to have to have an Associate go into the bathrooms every five minutes and check the stalls to make sure no customer has lit their underwear on fire. Bob, you have a question?”

“Yeah, what if the underwear is just smoking, but there are no flames?”

“Call corporate for clarification.”

This thread has the potential to be a classic for FR. One of the all-time greats.
