Oh Beth...man!  I know you didn't not wear your welding leathers.  Man!

That's okay though, I've got a small-fire story from a Christmas eve at the
local power plant.  Some insulation was burning and the only way to get
access to it was to slide myself between two narrow pipes.  I just couldn't
get through with my running coat and breathing apparatus on, so guess what?
That's how I found out how good fiberglass feels when it's embedded in your
skin for the next few days.  The next day  -- Christmas Day -- I went to a
party and stupidly wore a long sleeved, wool sweater.  Oh no, I can't even
think about this -- ARRRGH!  I am sorry I even thought about this...

Plus, there was the whole "taking off my mask in a fire" stupidness.  So dear
Beth, I can hardly judge, can I?
