Fire Hands 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A not so bright friend of mine in college who was on the boxing team decided to start his own little "Fight Club." So one night in his dorm room (which consisted of a bed, desk, closet, and fully fundtional sink), he decided to prove how tough he was in front of several other fight clubbers. He wrapped his hands in his felt boxing wraps, and soaked them in lighter fluid. He then proceeded to set them on fire and display them to his friends, probably thinking the wraps would protect his skin. They didn't. So he tried to pat them out on his pants, effectively catching his pants/legs on fire. At this point he remembered the "Stop, Drop, and Roll" technique, but instead of dropping to the ground, he flopped onto his bed. Now his hands, legs, and bed were on fire. Finally one of the other, more intelligent people in the room turned on the sink and was able to extinguish the fire. The guy lived, but I'm not sure if he ever actually graduated.
