Very well done. Had me laughing as much as any Pat McManus story.

...I smell something cooking. Doesn't smell very good. More like

burning
plastic bags. Smoke curls up around my face. John looks over and

casually
comments, "fire."

"What?"

"You're on fire."

I look down, and my parka is up against the space heater. Flames are
licking up from my groin to my chest...


Up to this point, I thought this was going to be one of
those......um.......whattyacallit......fish stories.

Reality bites.

nice job, Frank.


In all honesty, I still have the burnt LL Bean parka. I was really proud

of
that, as I spent 80 bucks on it as a closeout special. On a GI's pay,

that
was a whole crap load of money.
