But one of our housemates lay smoking in his
bed in his room, when some burning ash dropped
on the mattress and it caught light.
Not knowing what to do with the impending
inferno, he opened the sash window and bundled
the mattress out, where it landed on the lawn
2 floors below. It continued to burn and this
chap thought it would be a good idea to leap
out of the window and land on the mattress.
He had done this once, ran back inside and up
the stairs to his room and repeated the whole
activity 6 times before the fire brigade and
the police turned up to cart him off.
He later took a can of hair spray with a
lighter and used to stand in the living room and spray the hairspray over the flame at the
door when anyone came into the room.
