PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A suburban Pittsburgh man slept soundly as his home caught on fire and partially collapsed. It wasn't until firefighters did a walk-through of the home more than two hours later that he woke up. Ross Township Fire Marshal John Reubi said he was "flabbergasted" that anyone survived the blaze.

Wow, now that's what I would call "sleeping soundly"!

That sounds exactly like a story from this book when this man was interviewed about a fire and said "It was on fire when I lay down on it"

"It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It reached #2 on the bestseller list while Kindergarten was still #1. This was the first and only time in the list’s history that the same author had the #1 and #2 books at the same time. From burning beds to driver’s ed, from a disastrous wedding to the joy of tree climbing"
