1 Idiot + 1 lighter + Spilled Gasoline = ........
At about 8:30 Mountian time (that's 7:30 Pacific Time, 10:30 Eastern time) My house cought on fire, I kid you not. You can thank Captain Dumb@ss (AKA my cousin Steve) for this incident. He was trying to show off after spilling some gas while trying to work a weedeater by liting his hand on fire, the stunt went off without a hitch until he flung his hand to put out the fire in his hand, It coused a small flame to land on the couch on the back porch which had also had some spilled gasoline on it. Foof! Flames taller then me just started broiling this couch.As Capt. DA tried to turn to grab the hose but all he got was another flame off his hand to land on the weedeater that he had spilled the gasoline on. Foof! You can just see how thing quickly degrade at this point. I won't bore you with the details but we were able to get the fire out before it could reachthe inside of the house, and thankfully the outside of house's damage was almost none too. We were even able to restart the weedeater after the fire. Too bad the same thing cannot be said for the couch, It's toast.
I would love to say that stuff like this was a rare occurence around here, but it's not. Last week, we had cops come to the house (Ill explain that one at a later date, let's just say it once again envolves our dear friend Captian Dumb@ss)
Storm out
