Not a Good Idea After All! Testing Your Lighter at a Gas Pump

As far as dumb dumb fire excitement fail goes, this is a win, but sure... I would have loved to see a full on explosion just as much as you would. Next time buddy make sure you hose down the car with petrol first, and then use the nozzle as a flame thrower covering everything within a 30 foot radius in flame.

THAT is how you test your lighter like a pro.
