Two Not So Bright Lights

How many times must we learn the lesson that we don't use lighters to check fuel levels? The stingy pricks at this newspaper don't let you see the whole story, and everyone else is linking to the same place, but here's all the story we need.

Two Dover men were burned after one of them used a lighter to look inside a diesel tank.

Way to go, Daniel Stephens and Donald Lindsay. One flick, and then a kaboom, and you both got some sweet burns to your upper bodies.

Just because people ask if you've got a light when they want to use your lighter doesn't mean your lighter can serve as a light.
