Alcohol and Gasoline

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

After having a few too many drinks one night, a New York man sitting in front of his fireplace reached into his seemingly endless supply of 12 packs and discovered that he had no beer of any kind left in his home. Rather than taking the time to walk down to the beer store, this man decided to mix his own alcoholic beverage. Kids, don't try this at home with or without adult supervision. Mistake number one: The man finds a full bottle of rubbing alcohol and empties it into a blender. Realizing that his brilliant concoction needed a good smell, he used his deductive powers to realize that gasoline smells somewhat like beer. The man emptied what was left of a can of gasoline into the blender. After adding some cranberry juice and a lemon, the man mixed his concoction and tested it. Rather than making the man very drunk, it made him very sick. He puked into his lit fireplace. This act not only killed him, but killed his sister who was upstairs at the time.

Moral:Gasoline and alcohol don't mix, and neither of these substances mix well with fire.

definitly a darwin for him, ut it doesn't sound overly likely to me.. shame about the sister.

Sounds like UL, and would require waving the "bystanders hurt" rule, but otherwise a cut above the usual dumb drunk story.

Definitely Toss: Other
For some reason, I'm thinking this one didn't happen. It's rating a 7 on my BS meter.

Definitely Toss: Bystanders Hurt
A very great shame that he killed his sister, otherwise this would definitely qualify.
