YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

The local newspaper carried a front page article today about an explosion in Cleburne, a small town south of Fort Worth. A guy called the Cleburne fire inspector, saying "every time my wife lights a cigarette a blue flame shoots up to the ceiling".

EVERY TIME? How many times do you have to light a cigarette and see a blue flame shooting up to the ceiling before you figure out it is a bad idea? Well, for this guy, one more time.

The fire inspector told the guy he was on his way and not to light any more cigarettes, but he lit a match for his wife (a true gentleman, if not a true thinker) and boom, the house exploded and blew a hole in the roof.

So, it's true, smoking can be hazardous to your health.
