Drunk+Fire= butane?

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Springdale, Arkansas. October, 15 2005

As my friend says it all started when he, Rob, and his friend, Wes, were bored. This ominus October morning, 1:15 am, to be precise. Was just the thing my two friends needed to spark their relitively, how can I put this male, imagination to work. Quickly rob decided to make pretty lights to "ooh" and "aah" at.

Now incase you didn't know when a butane can is held upside down on a hard, preferably a nonflamable, suface. Upon lifting the can of volitle substance one can light the fumes. The product is a bright flame. Ooh's and Aah's galore.

Rob held the can of butane upside down and thinking only of safety he made sure to lean back. He produced a lighter and lit the fumes. A loud retort and the smell of singed hair later, and there was Rob his face red, his hair half gone, and his chest hair completely singed off. Rob's wonderful exacution of the daredevil mini-stunt. Ended a little to daredevily then he expected. In his jolly drunkeness he had for gotten a crutial point. He had forgotten to lift the can of flamable liqiud up out of the flames hot grasp. BOOM! Sobbered Rob right up. He got up and is still up, but I suspect a future Darwin Award winner in later years.

Why is it that most of the PA's we're getting lately involve someone playing with flammables? And why do such stories never cease to amuse me??! I liked this one, Alya! A real dumb maneuver, not remembering to lift the canister out of the way! I'll keep it as a PA!
