Something I just posted on the talk board
My friend/boss has just come back from NY and quite frankly it looks as though he has had the sh*t kicked out of him.

When I asked what happened, this was his response.

He was drinking in an Irish bar in New York for most of the day. After the 'teenth pint of Guinness he leant over to speak to his friend, but unfortunately his beard caught on a candle and set alight. Not too bad really, you could just pat it out, you might think.

However, the helpful 'murkin on the next table decided to help by throwing their drink over the burning area to help put out the flames, very nice. What they didn't consider was that they were drinking neat spirit. WOOOMF!

My mate now has 1st degree burns to the area surrounding his mouth and his eyelids!

Just had to share.

Americans; well meaning but tend to fuck things up.
