Well, I guess he won't be doing that again, not in any hurry I suppose anyway?
Yep, the neighbourhood Evangelidiot has struck again so it seems.
Being quite noticeable by his absence since last Monday or Tuesday, he returned home this morning after being discharged from hospital to inform the neighbourhood ( me included unfortunately) that, " Due his legs and groin having caught fire while trying to weld a piece of 1/8th steel plate to a work bench he was making, a spark set his oil and gasoline soaked pants alight while he SITTING on the section of plating so as it would make a good contact with one of the corners."
FFs, hasn't he ever heard of using G-Clamps and Safe Working Practices for holding things in place when using an Electric-Arc Welder?

You need to keep the "Darwin Awards" project up to date. Just in case.

I remember my father cleaning engine parts using gasoline while smoking. He never started a fire and I never understood how he managed not to.

We had a similar bloke, a Mechanics Assistant, of all things, who EVERY morning in Winter would the fuel system of his car. He was always asking Why we gave him the nickname of "Shocking Hocking" and why everyone would evacuate the area before him as well.

To answer your question: either no he has not, or he chose to ignore them.

Should we run a sweepstake for when he gets himself a Darwin Award?

Yeah why on Earth not?

Put me down for 2 tickets since him being the combination of a Christian AND an Idiot it's a dead cert to be a One horse race at the very best.....LOL.

How can such an idiot keep surviving the stupidity?

@ZantiMisfit This one stuns me.

To put it mildly, that question has had be scratching my head ever since he first moved into the neighbourhood.
To put in more harsher language, F.I.I.K.

God must be looking after him, that’s what he would say.

@Jolanta I guess.
