Spotted a toot earlier about a fireball, which reminded me of something very silly I did last week.
It was my daughter's birthday, and I needed to light the candles on the cake. The lighter was empty, so I took it to the kitchen sink to refill it.
The valve was jammed, and every time I pressed the butane can against it, the gas sprayed out instead of going into the lighter. I tried this several times.
What I failed to appreciate at the time was the sink gradually filling with butane vapour.
So, naturally, I tested whether the lighter was working by clicking it. *WOOMP*
Some of my eyebrows still feel a bit singed a week later.
