    The one time I did find myself on fire, I completely forgot about stop, drop, and roll. Instead I ran until I stumbled on the hillside, then shouted “am I still on fire?”

    Aaand that story is why I no longer fucks with charcoal grills.

      Caught my pants on fire from a welding spark and by the time I noticed, it was most of my leg on fire. Didn’t even think to stop drop and roll, I just took off my pants.

      Couple of points of advice:

      1. Don’t wear frayed clothing while welding.

      2. Fire can’t be seen through certain welding masks. If you feel warm, lift the fucking mask.

      Wait you managed to light yourself on fire with a CHARCOAL grill?

      Did you put accelerant on it for some reason?
