Stupidest Thing I Ever Did

[Ngtflyr]

I just read some of the funniest things in quite awhile on the Moparts site I will put the link to it at the bottom of this post.

Guess I will contribute my own stupidest thing. When I was about 11 or 12 a buddy of mine and I were playing "Army" with some toy soldiers. We got bored and figured we needed some pyrotechnics, so we poured a little gas on some small piles of brush to simulate incoming rounds. After those died down we were so pleased with the results we thought we would try it again. (Note to self, make sure there is no hidden ignition source when pouring gas.) We apparently didn't wait long enough for all the embers to extinguish and I got a major surprise when I found myself holding a burning 2.5 gal can of gasoline. I went one way the gas can went another way, rolling down the hill into our orchard. Now we had about a 50 foot long fire going in the dead grass and a major plume right under my dads favorite apple tree. Somehow we got the fire out without the whole countryside going up, it was the middle of summer. My parents weren't home and we lived out in the country so there were no witnesses. We spent the next couple hours trying to get rid of any signs of fire, worked pretty good except for the four foot black area of the apple tree. Somehow no-one ever noticed and we never said anything. We never had the urge for any pyrotechnics after that and somehow I never got burned other than a little singed hair.
