Arrested Development

I was at the gas station filling up the car with gas.  While I was pumping the gas, a local police officer pulled up in the lane across from my car.  We started chatting.  I was mainly pumping him for information since Nancy and I are new to the area.

Well, I like to use that little feature of the pump that allows you to not need to hold the handle the hold time.  I normally have it set to the slowest setting, but I was getting antsy waiting for my 20 gallon tank to fill up.  So I grabbed the handle to set it to a faster speed when I guess there was a spark because my arm suddenly burst into flames (I was wearing my sweatshirt).

The cop noticed this as I hit the ground trying to put my arm out.  He jumped over and started smothering the flames with a blanket.  After the fire was out he threw me up against my car and started putting handcuffs on me.

I was shocked and shouted to him what had I done.  It was an accident.  He threw me in his car and told me that I was under arrest for carrying a fire arm….

Just because it’s in your size, doesn’t mean you need to wear it
