Famous last words. "give me a match, I think my gas tank is empty" You wonder where jokes like that come from? Not any more.

Justice comes in strange forms. I bet he will sue the gas can company for not putting a warning label on the can, "Do not use burning flame to check gas level." Another case of get out of the gene pool!!

Ah yes, in EMT circles "Dude, here, hold my beer!" is apparently one of the better known last phrases whoo-hoo'd before they're called into action...

A couple years ago a Father in Ham Lake told his son to take the gas from one snowmobile and put it in another one. The kid had a brilliant plan....use the shop wet vac. The results were...let's just say...not pretty. Stupid has no borders.
