Not so much a school/work related story, but you guys ever try burning a pile of leaves with gasoline? I actually poured some all over the pile then poured a trail to light it from a safe distance. However, there is no such thing as a "safe distance." I clicked the lighter once and the whole thing exploded in my face (note I was only wearing shorts and a tank top). I miraculously walked away unscathed.
