Aresol can explosion honorable ment

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 20 year old jock presented to The Emergency department of a busy Australian (Sydney) hospital. He suffered second degree burns to his face, hands, arms and chest. He had lost his eyebrows and now had what looked to be a receding hair-line. When asked how he sustained such injuries he replied " I was trying to refill my deoderant spray with after shave, I couldn't find a way to refill it with the hole at the top, so I got a can opener to make a bigger hole, and it exploded!" (much to his amazement). He proceeded to explain that the after shave was the same scent as the empty aresol can and "thought it would work".

Let me get this straight: tapioca-for-brains was trying to REFILL an -aerosol can_? And he used a can opener on it when most warning labels on those things are variations of "do not puncture"? What a mush-brain! Thanks Steve!
