Pro tip: Maybe don't light up near one that's open.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Florida woman lit a cigarette, sparking an explosion of a propane barbeque grill being transported in her SUV.

Orlando police Lt. Cindy Lane tells news outlets that the grill was turned on and the propane tank was open in the back of the red Kia Sorento as she left a barbeque at the Central Florida Fairgrounds on Sunday afternoon.

I am amazed they didn't get killed! Just looking at the car it must have been a heck of an explosion!

I can just hear it now:

Wife- Oh my god, Hank!! I told you not to eat that cabbage! I think I'm going to throw up! (Sounds of gagging).

Hank- What you talkin' 'bout, woman?? I didn't have no cabbage!

Wife- I gotta light a smoke to cover up the stank!

(Sounds of Bic lighter friction wheel sparking the flint)



Ka-booooooooooom!

There is no cure for stupidity. These idiots came very close, however.

Honorary Darwin Award. Don't worry, they'll get a real one soon.

I would like to know what damage the occupants sustained. Deaf, blind and hairless?

This articles adds that an adjacent vehicle was also damaged, and that the man is now in jail on outstanding warrants for previous offenses, so I guess his injuries weren't too serious.

The real problem is stated right in the beginning of the article: The WOMAN lit a cigarette?

If so many women would toss the habit these things wouldn't happen.

Hopefully this little episode will result in both of them being forever incapable of further polluting the gene pool.
