Easy burn

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A few months ago two men where trying to bring down a small shed in their yard.One of them had a stroke of stupidy to say the least!The two men grabed a gas can and started to pour gas on the inside of the shed.They thought they could do a controled burn of the small building.Well you guessed it when they finished pouring all the contents of the gas can they lite a match tossed it in-and boom!The gas fumes collected in the building and exploded with the roof sent flying some 30 or so feet into the adjoining yard.Both men where knocked to the ground and only had small cuts from the wood that was flying in the air.A grand example of how to almost do your self and a friend in.I cant remember the exact date but i will get the pic for you in the near future

Gregory said:
Maybe Toss: Too Common
This type of story relatively common. At least it wasn't an outhouse. If you can come up with the picture, repost and I may reconsider.

"The Darwin Awards... constitute a delicious
sermon in support of common sense."
