Today was a banner day for me at work. I set a trash can on fire. Alright me! 
I guess sparks from my welding of a cat(alytic converter) danced into the can. I do know I heard an odd popping coming from that direction, so I lifted my helmet to see three foot flames leaping out of the can--not good.
Just my luck it was a plastic can too.
Luckily I put it out before the fiery mass inside reached the oxy-acetylene torch cart (or embers landed on the three 55 gallon drums of gas 20 feet away).
I know I'm going to get reamed tomorrow, but *shrugs* that's life.
The layers of smoke in the shop were pretty neat-looking though. Nothing like watching the air currents in an enclosed space.
I RULE!!!

That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while. We haven't heard from you since Thursday though. I hope they didn't kill you on Friday.
