Watching some goober do this in person, would result in two things. Uncontrollable laughter, and spontaneous urination.
Translation? I'd **** myself laughing so hard at this idiot as his trailer park wife tries to put him out with a bottle of bourbon.
(Not really...I'd try my best to help get the flames out and call emergency help.)

A man using a vacuum cleaner to suck gasoline out of a vehicle was burned and his house damaged when the fuel exploded, the Albuquerque Fire Department said.
The department responded Tuesday morning to 1500 Seven Falls Place Northwest, where they found a 33-year-old man had been blown into the street by the explosion, Capt. Mike Paiz said.
He was treated at University of New Mexico Hospital for burns, Paiz said.
The house was condemned by the city after a team found the roof was lifted off and some walls displaced several inches by the blast, Paiz said.

Yeah, this week, a 66 year old guy up here in Puyallup, Washington, tried to remove a stubborn lugnut for 2 weeks. He got so frustrated, he took out his shotgun, and from arms length away, tried to shoot the lugnut off. Needless to say, the buckshot messed up both his legs and he had to be taken to a hospital. Makes you wonder what people are thinking.

Not as bad as my friend who owned a '65 Vette coupe who tried to see how much gas was in his tank with...are you ready?...you guessed it...A MATCH!! Fortunately, only his eyebrows were singed by the flash, no explosion, and this guy (I thought up till then, was smart, well to do, educated etc. Go figure!

When I was a kid a neighbor a few blocks away decided to end it all. He stuffed rags under the kitchen doors and turned on the gas stove. He sat down at the kitchen table and, because it was taking some time to commit suicide, decided to have one last cigarette. Now, the kitchen table was in front of a big picture window which overlooked the front porch. The guy lit up, the gas exploded and the kitchen acted like a canon with him as the canon ball. Blew his literally smoking azz out into the middle of the street. The house wasn't badly damaged because the window allowed the force of the blast to escape, along with the neighbor who was badly burned. Poor guy didn't survive but it was hard to talk about it without chuckling.
