Years ago, a friend decided to have his first Barbecue. He invited several of us to witness his grilling prowess. He decided to go old school, with charcoal. Unfortunately, he forgot to buy starter fluid so thought it might be just as easy to pour some gasoline. He syphoned the gasoline from his motorcycle into a pop bottle.
He poured the gasoline on the coals and tossed a match in. It worked, the flame rose a meter above the grill, yet somehow ignited the fumes in the bottle that was still in his hand. He didn’t notice, but someone quickly shouted “The bottle is on fire!” He panicked and tossed the bottle into the yard. As it travelled across the lawn it bounced several times, leaving an arching flaming trail behind it.
The bottle finally came to rest at the cedar hedges, which were rather dry that summer, and immediately caught fire. Twenty people ran out of the yard in a panic. A small group of us remained seated, providing instructions to our friend to get the hose, and of course, laughing the whole time. With the fire out, we finally ordered pizza.
It would be nice to actually have a patio set. We sit on whatever we can find.
