fireball

 

This week’s Bonehead of the Week comes to us from Long Island. When bedbugs terrify you (as they do Doc, for example), you might not react in the most rational way when you believe they are in your car. But you probably wouldn’t do what Scott Kemery did. The Long Island man thought there were bedbugs in his rental car. So he soaked the entire rental car in rubbing alcohol. Problem solved! He soon encountered a new problem, however, when he sat down in the car and lit a smoke. The ensuing fireball engulfed the two neighbouring cars and gave Mr. Kemery first and second degree burns. Ouch. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. Or burn up your rental car.
