404 error on both.


I had no problem seeing the images of his wife and the inside of the car.
All
you had to do, was remove the second "a" from the URL.

I meant to say. What happened in the accident? Should I not have a fire
extinguisher in my car? It seems, that the woman was lucky that she was not
killed.


From what I recall (if my memory is wrong, sorry...) being posted here
not too long ago, the fellow involved spotted a fire extinguisher on the
side of the road. Being the cheapskate metalworker - Err... Sorry, that
was a typo for Frugal Machinist (note 1) - he was, he stopped and
snarfed it up, thinking there might be a project in there somewhere.
Something I doubt many of us here would have considered to be even a
little bit like a bad idea.

Details are hazy as to the exact course of events from that point, but
shortly afterwards, apparently without warning or visible provocation,
the thing exploded/blew its valve/something in the cab of the
pick-em-up, injuring both him and his wife, and dousing the interior of
the truck with dry-chem powder.






Note 1, for the humor-impaired:
That was intended as a bit of levity in an all-too-serious post, not an
insult. Take it for its intended value.
