Feel the burn

Some genius in Wisconsin just proved that the formula for comedy gold includes one part stupidity, one part gasoline, and a little fire:

Police said a man was arrested after he used a cigarette lighter while trying to siphon gasoline from a van. The man, who was visiting friends, went to drive home early Saturday but realized that he didn't have enough gas in his SUV.

Police said the man tried to siphon the gas with help from another woman, but he couldn't see how much gas was in the container, so he used the lighter to check.

A blast of fire burned his hands and caused nearby residents to call police.

Insult was then literally added to injury when the cops found the two of them in a nearby parking lot and arrested him. If real life had a soundtrack, I'm pretty sure that some version of this would have been playing in the background throughout the course of the incident.
