Pardon my bluntness, but that sounds like letting a fa--, lighting it, and watching your ass go up in flames.

(My father, as a teenager, actually did exactly that, sitting in a wicker chair on a porch in Maine. He went on to become a NASA PhD engineer. Something to do with propulsion.)

My dad said lighting farts was the “in” thing to do when he was in college back in the 1930s. Goes to show kids are dumb no matter what the era.

I’m glad to know my dad wasn’t uniquely stupid. He also confessed that after borrowing the family car, he would drive all the way home in reverse, because his dad charged him mileage, and the odometers back then ran backwards.

Of course, he was very strict with us kids.
