Those who take Family Handyman have already read this.Makes me think the human gene pool is draining and turning into a mudflat.
From "Great Goofs".----- "My neighbor was having trouble starting his riding mower at the beginning of the season. He nursed it up to his shed door and decided he should drain the old gas out and replace it.Instead of siphoning out the gas,he came up w/ the brilliant idea of using his wet/dry shop vac.
After about a minute of that,the vac ignited and the top blasted off like a missile,leaving a huge fireball in its wake. I saw my neighbor later that day,and it wasn't pretty. His hair was singed,he had no eyebrows,his skin had a charcoal hue and he clearly didn't want to talk about it.
Eventually he got the mower running,but I'm pretty sure the shop vac was a goner."
