12. The combination of gas and fire is a huge disaster.
This story is self-explanatory. It’s yet another one that we should have made into a movie.
“Back in the 1990s, I used to work at an NYC public elementary school during the summers to help pay for college. One of the full-time employees was a pleasant individual but did the dumbest things. He loaded a trailer with around 25 gallons of gasoline and drove it back through the main school parking lot. However, he had no idea that the container had burst open, spilling all 25 gallons of gasoline in the parking lot. As he didn’t want to get caught, he decided that the best method to remove the evidence was to LIGHT IT UP.
“He didn’t comprehend that burning gas produces a LOT of black smoke and that a massive cloud of black smoke billowing from a school attracts a lot of first responder attention.” Panicked, he tries to put out the blazing lake of gas by DRIVING HIS CAR OVER IT. When the fire service arrives, he is yelled at to stop driving across ablaze gasoline. They finally extinguished the fire and. For about 25 minutes, I screamed at this person. It was the hilarious thing I’d ever seen.”
