Good Grief, Charlie Brown!! Darwin Awards, front and center, please........

OK, confession time. I used to use a coffe can full of coarse sawdust soaked in DIESEL FUEL to start fires......told Mr. this once, so he went out and filled a coffee can with sawdust and soaked it in gasoline......the blowback in the fireplace (MOBILE HOME!!)took off his forelock and eyebrows........and he blamed it on me.......said I told him to do it!!! We were very lucky nothing worse happened, esp in a mobile home.

We now use "stove wood"--very small kindling, and a mini propane tube........which he goes off and leaves stuck between the doors of the stove........JESUS!!
