Man gets burned while using lighter to siphon gas :: WRAL.com

 

Heh man oh man, what do some people think?

 

Well is still living and has the potential to contribute to the gene pool... More like stupid criminal.

 

Man I remember looking at a motorcycle that I was getting for parts at night and the gas tank is what I was really after and without even thinking I removed the fuel cap to look inside and tryed to use a lighter to see,as the flame blew by my head I slambed the fuel cap back on said to myself you friggen idiot

 

I haven't actually done that one, but boy do I know that feeling...

 

My wife, who is an RN, used to be a home health nurse and she told me a story of a patient who was on oxygen and lit a cigarette on his gas stove and singed his eyebrows, beard etc...
