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.

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.

you can wear it at penns. the bear will appreciate it, i'm sure.
