soak a rag in mineral spirits and stuff it in my pocket?

That hurts, Man!

Had a can of mace in my back pocket and sat down on a crowded public bus one time......OUCH, and the tears. Lots of angry folks :->

[Beth n Rod]

OUCH! Never done that, but I can imagine how that must have burned!

Put a lit cigar down on my golf cart seat. Hit the ball then sat on the cigar and drove off.

[Beth n Rod]

How fast was the golf cart moving when you bailed out of the seat?

For some reason, I do it every deck as I try to avoid them sitting in the sun and catching fire. I mean every time. I need to posting a sign on my own job site - "Do not, under any circumstances, jam soaked rags into pockets!"

Years ago, I was doing irrigation repair job, spilled a can of pvc primer on my crotch area. It was NOT very funny. I drove myself to the ER. I was hurting and crying so much, I could not explain to them what happened to me. Then, like all ER's, they wanted me to wait to see a doctor......I caused such a scene that they ended up calling security, it was not a good scene.

I spilled gas on my crotch once The ride home sucked!

[fireandrain]

dumb maneuvers? pulled out of the gas station with the pump still engaged in my truck's tank. The station attendant and the nice soccer mom in the Volvo at the pump behind me were thoroughly entertained.

In high school I watched the shop teacher take a staple gun to one of the bus drivers who was sitting spraddle legged on a bench, slammed it down in between his legs playing like he was going to staple his u know what. Well.......he missed his aim and did staple his go nads to the table. They had to cut his pants off and pry them lose with a screw driver. Still makes me laugh thinking about it.

In my high school years, I used to smoke and owned a zippo lighter. Well, it got bent a little at one time and I needed to fill it and afterwards, it leaked into my pants pocket and burned the heck out of my leg. One of the main reasons I went to a leather belt holder for my cigs and lighter.
Thankfully, I quit all that back in '96 but the memory is still there.

Bryan, I have an idea for you for the rags. My Dad always had an old coffee can he had drilled large air holes around the middle that he had put s hooks on the top edge. He would hang it on the ladder he was using or what ever else near him as he worked and would toss the rags in there. Kept them close but off and out of his clothes. He did a lot of mechanical and wood working so he alway had rags soaked with somekind of flamable liquid or compound on it.
