… motorised … bar … stools … This displaces heated shave-cream warmers in my mythology. ---

Wow, there was a story in New Zealand that was similar but worse: > [@](#): > > **Astro** : Does Man have any special dignity or is it all just a silly illusion? > > **NutWrench** : Drunk naked man arrested for speeding on a motorized bar stool with his ass on fire.

So after sticking a rolled up newspaper in his ass and lighting the fart that came out the end as he steered a motorized barstool naked out of Reno, Sullivan confessed to having “had a few”? No shit. ---

What this chase scene needs is a soundtrack of bongo drums and wocka-chicka-wocka guitar. Player real slow. ---

_Played_ real slow. Andy, who’s a bit slow himself today. And hey, I _have_ a shave-cream warmer. ---

Sans the stool (so to speak) the point is to see how long you dare let the paper burn. Or so I’ve heard. ---

No, the flaming arse guy was in Tauranga, New Zealand, not Reno. Gotta love the Kiwis. 🙂
