Smoking seriously damages heal

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I smoke a pipe, a nice old english gentelman's custom. One day while driving I decided to smoke. After much manipulation I lit the pipe with a match and threw it out the window. I noticed a smell of burning, as I was driving an old Land Rover I started to look for smoke from behind the dash board. No sign, I studiosly studdied the instruments no sign of problems, humm? Must be muck on the exhaust, smelling as it got hot. I then went to turn right into a field. And was met by the sight of flames coming up the window. I left the Land Rover to it's own devices and parachuted out of the door fortunatley in the feild. Then I found I had managed to set my body warmer on fire. Morale- Before throwing some thing out of a window- OPEN IT!

Could have benefited by the use of a spell checker but, having once seen a friend try to throw a cigarette out of a closed car window, I can empathize.

And maybe make sure it is no longer burning. That is how forest fires start.
