My friend died in an accident like that just last week.

He fell back while drinking his 14th beer, knocked some off the far end of the wall, which knocked a steel rod over, which smashed the top off an old propane bottle, which shot 11 feet across into the furnace that was open because my buddy was adding wood.

It exploded and took down the entire house. Four people died and his little sister has smoke inhalation.

I watched it all from the far end of the garage, outside the window taking a piss.

Thanks for being so insensitive.
