Lying in bed this morning listening to the early news I come out of my half-asleep stupor with a start wondering if I'm dreaming...

Apparently a self-reliant woman ran out of gas in the wee hours of the morning (2.00am or so). She gets out her trusty jerry can (see it's not only boy scouts who are prepared)...and proceeds to attempt to fill up her tank. Well it's dark and she can't see a thing and she doesn't want to spill fuel everywhere so she pulls out her lighter...both she and her car have some grave injuries...how stupid can one be I ask?
