ever go to pull something out of the oven and forget to use a potholder?
i've grabbed various things without pot holders in my life. luckily i've never gotten burned very bad at all from doing so.
ever start to boil something when you come home drunk,and awake to a house full of smoke?
luckily, no. in the Marine Corps i had a room mate that did that once. we had a little propane stove in our barracks room. i woke up once at 4 am to the smoke alarm going off. he was standing on the dresser fanning the smoke alarm going "ittt'ssssss oooooooo-kay maaannnn, just goooo baaaack to sleeep. every...thing....isssss under con-trol here." he was drunker than shit and fell asleep while cooking some Ramen noodles. was pretty funny, but sucked ass to be woken at 4am to the smoke alarm.
