Default stupid thing

Had one of those moments........like touching wet paint to see if it really is wet. Got home after a little run on the Dyna and looked at the exhaust exit and thought mmmm looks a little like a few spots of rust.......now this is a new bike so I thought I'll just give it a little spray of WD 40 ( lube and water repellant )spray).........whoosh......flames.......oh no bikes on fire. Ran into house, wife on phone......screamed bikes on fire..........she screamed..........I screamed again.........ran to kitchin and got the smallest pan of water you've ever seen.............pathetic.........got to bike and flames had gone out. I feel so stupid......and yes it does say flammable on the tin.

Beavis

Has an underbite and a fixated stare on his face which almost always looks to the side. Beavis grunts when he laughs and has a nasal voice. The more excitable of the two; he is oblivious of the obvious, is obsessed with fire, and has a more passive demeanor that contrasts with Butt-head's more dominant personality. Beavis also has an alter ego named The Great Cornholio which usually surfaces after he consumes large quantities of caffeine or sugar.

Then he say : fire fire fire .

Pyromania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[/align]Jump to: navigation, search[/align]
For the album by Def Leppard, see Pyromania (album)
Pyromania is an intense obsession with fire, explosives, and their related effects. It is also an obsession with starting fires in an intentional fashion. An individual with pyromania is referred to as a pyromaniac or "pyro" for short. In colloquial English, the synonyms "firebug" and "firestarter" are sometimes used. Pyromaniacs are identified specifically as not having any other symptoms but obsession with fire causing their behavior. It is distinct from arson, and pyromaniacs are also distinct from those who start fires because of psychoses, for personal, monetary or political gain, or for acts of revenge. Pyromaniacs start fires to induce euphoria, and often tend to fixate on institutions of fire control: fire stations, firefighters, etc.[/align]

Symptoms and diagnosis
Pyromaniacs are known to have feelings of sadness and loneliness, followed by rage, which leads to the setting of fires as an outlet.[4]For a positive diagnosis, there must be purposeful setting of fire on at least two occasions. There is tension or arousal prior to the act, and gratification or relief when it is over. It is done for its own sake, and not for any other motivation. [5] In some cases it is all about the pleasure of seeing what other people have to do to extinguish the fire, and the pyromaniac may enjoy reading of the effects of what they have done. [4] Many arsonists claim that they just like to set fires for the sake of fires and the blaze of dancing flames. Many pyromaniacs feel a relief of stress in watching things burn or smolder, and the condition is fueled by the need to watch objects burn.

I am happy that everything turned out well. I can visualize you and your wife screaming while looking for something to put out the fire. You did however give me a laugh this morning. A good start to another day in a somewhat pathetic life. Maybe today will be better.
