First, congradulations! You Da Man !!
My stupid burn story is not Car related but dumb enough to be entertaining.
I was doing reserve duty after my two years of active duty with the Army in
Fort Drum NY in 1967. I had the opportunity to fire a Browning Automatic
Rifle ,(BAR), and naturally showed off to the reservists and guardsmen watching
by firing off a full clip, from the shoulder with this very heavy beast. I then
put the thing down, butt first, and promptly absentmindedly grabbed the
really hot barrel with my bare right hand. I rapidly decided this was not the
proper place to grasp the thing and removed same. My hand was stuck in the
thumb touches fore finger position for a good week after. This was very handy
(pun) for drinking bottled beer, shifting a four speed, or other manly
pastimes,
but otherwise usually inconvenient.
Bob, never ever did anything stoopid again,either,W
