Another time I wiped down my bench with 100% alcohol and trying to be cool I lit the alcohol as it was evaporating on the bench forgetting that the alcohol wet tissue was still on the bench beside a pile of my papers. So it went up in flames, so did the papers :eek: Quick blast of the fire extinguisher later and I didn't feel so cool anymore

It was a sunday afternoon, we had all had a late one the night before, and since we had arisen that morn, we had consumed a fair amount of Mary Jane. It was a cold house, so me being the one closest to the gas fire, was asked to "blaze up that beauty". So i did. I did the usual, bit of a twist to the knob, push it in a little, hold, ignite and voila. Except, it wouldnt ignite. So i repeated. And repeated. And repeated again. Pissed off I held down the gas button, to be sure there would be chance of another misfire. I forgot I was holding down the gas button, and I'm not sure how long had passed until one of the lads said, "Will, have you not turned on the fcuking fire yet?" I said "oh yeh" and proceeded to press the ignite button. Caboom is the only accurate way of describing the sound, as two jets of flame sprang out either side of the fire. The front of the fire has a kind of glass shield which i swear bent out and then back in making that kind of metal sheet bending sound. The two lads screamed while I just looked at them in horror and disbelief as to how utterly retarded I had been. One of the lads fair play to him, had actually leaped over the back of the couch, he was a big guy and I have to say I was impressed by his athletiscm, even if he only showed it at the sign of imminent doom. So anyways we broke our **** laughing and then slowed our heart rates with more help of the Mary Jane. It was a quiet day after that, with random outbursts of uncontrollable laughter.
