Pumping gas while smoking

[Tuffus]

Wow.....Only in Southside AL....You will not believe what just happened.. I walked into 7/11 to get a drink When I walked up I noticed these 2 officers watching some dude who was smoking while pumping gas.. I saw him & thought, "This guy didn't have much common sense & was he stupid ?!! With the cops right there too?!"
But anyway, I went in and got my drink. As I was checking out, I heard someone screaming.. I looked outside and the dude's arm was on fire! He was swinging his arm and running around going crazy! I ran outside and the cops had put him on the ground and were putting the fire out with their coffees!! YES, THEIR COFFEES!...Then they put handcuffs on him and threw him in the police car.. I was thinking "He shouldn't have been smoking near the pump while getting gas!" But being the nosy person that I am, I asked the cops what they were arresting him for.. The cop looked me dead in my eyes and said ... "WAVING A FIREARM!"

Wish I could've been a witness.

Watching from a safe distance, waiting patiently, morbidly counting down 3...2...1... Bingo,  it's show time.

I'm sorry, but that is physical comedy or Darwinism, at its best.

Yep. Seemed like a smart thing to do. I would not be surprised if someone actually did that.

Happened before and will happen again:  http://www.nbc26.com/news/national/man-severely-burned-after-smoking-at-gas-pump-report-says

 

I'm sure the first post was a joke. If it was real, I bet the guy would have gotten into a heated argument with the cops. Probably some sort of hot head. Hopefully warming up to the idea of not smoking at the pump. Surely he found enlightenment.
