I knew it was... If you throw a cigarette into a container of gasolene, the gas - in this state a liquid - will extinguish the cigarette.
It is funny to see the look on people's faces when you do this right before you explain the concept to to them... _________________ Jim

Yeah, and it's still a good way to win free money in party/bar bets. If you know what you're doing you can douse a lit match with gas. It's not the gas, it's the oxygen. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

I moved my bike into the ktchen when I lived in Biddeford Maine. Worked on it the whole winter. Landlord was never home and didn't really care. I didn't get into the trouble this guy did. _________________ "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges"!
I like the social aspect of riding. Rally's, socializing, drinking beer, fartin' and carrying on.

Interesting - happens I have a friend here who keeps his Manx in the cellar
He refers to it as his superannuation. _________________ David, owner of:
