Yes, well your talking to the guy who once lived in Florida. I had a fabulous idea of using gas to get rid of a Fire Ant problem my mother had about 15 years ago, when she once owned a house down there. She was afraid to mow the weed grass for fear she'd get bitten.

So I told her that I'd take care of it.

I got the gas down the hole, and waited about 2 minutes before I used my lighter. BOOM!!!

I forgot that Ants make tunnels, and I was supposed to use Kerorosene not gas. Me and the Ants were airborne, and all I saw was sky, sand and ants. I landed flat on my back, my hair and eyebrows were singed off and they smoldered for a while.

Me See Ant, Me Bring Gas, Me Fire God, Me Need Fire Department!

My wife still reminds me of that incident from time to time just to razz me and get my goat. She says she's dumbfounded that I hadn't Darwined myself yet.
