Thanks Ken. I went on a search for a good one and finally found this one. I knew immediately that it was me. Here is an anecdote:<br /><br />Since I was a baby I loved FIRE. I can start a fire in the rain with wet fuel. I can get a fire going when NO-ONE else can. I just love it. Once when I was about 10 or 11 I watched with fascination as my dad poured some gas on an ant bed and ignited it. I stirred it around and played with it until it stopped burning, despite my dad trying to shoo me away from it. So a week or so later I found a huge fire ant bed in the woods next to our house. Voilà! I got my brother and some gas and lit her up! It never occurred to me that the youpon that was growing over the mound would go up like dry tinder. Next thing you know my dad is out there with a shovel to beat out the fire and shovel dirt on it. First shovel of fuel laden dirt to hit the youpon and "WHHOOOOOMP!" the fire was really big now!!!! "Is there gas in the G-d D*nm dirt!?!?!?" he boomed with this incredulous look on his face. Wide eyed my brother and I chorused "noooo..." I thought we were dead, but dad so exhausted himself putting out the fire that he was too pooped to kill us.<br /><br />I have had the fire department visit once when I threw a friend a little divorce party that involved a bit of a fire out back. The Fire Dept. showed up with everything they had, thinking my house was completely involved (the flames were over thirty feet tall and the fire could be seen from several blocks away). My excuse? "hey, we're just some red-necks getting drunk!"
