my turn i guess...

1) I was mounting a fresh pair of 17 inch tires in a pair of SS rims for my friend dave...i got the first one on perfectly...seated the bead real quick...but for some reason, the second tire would not seat itself...i tried everything i could think of, but it wouldnt seat...so i finally i remembered a method one of the other mechanics had used...so i went inside the store and got a fresh can of starting fluid and i proceeded to spray some on the part that wouldnt seat...then i got a lighter and light it....i waited for a second and then said to my coworker to put out the flames with the air hose...but i forgot to move out of the way he was spraying the air...so a huge ball of flames came right at me...my shirt caught on fire for a sec and i singed all the hair from the bottom of my right arm...the hair finally grew back...

2)I'm driving home from Ramsey one night with a couple of friends(this was in my Beretta)...on the way back we missed the exit for 287 to take us home so i make a u turn and come back the other way...this time, for some reason, i went on the road in front of the Sheraton crossroads...i wasn't paying much attention and this 90 degree curb came right in front of me...and i couldnt get out of the way and i ended up hopping the curb...in the process i blew out both left side tires and bent both steel rims...
