We were on Ko Phag Nagn, a Thai island famed for its full moon parties (although everyone's doing them nowadays)
Anyway, we were on one of the quieter beaches and spot a large crowd sitting outside one of the bars, so we saunter along to see what's going on.
Hey, it's a fire jumper, he sets up his big hoop, covers it in petrol and lights it.
Does lots of acrobatics, leping through backwards, sideways and so forth, all very spectacular.

then he invites the audience to have a go.

One bloke is straight up to the challenge, he's up and through the hoop without pausing for breath, then another chap, then a girl goes through and catches her shin, ooh nasty.

Then I think "I could do that" so I walk over, have a look and then decide "actually no, that hoop is just a tad too high for me to be sure of clearing it" and then I go and sit down again and some more folks jump through.

Of course, by the time I finish my beer I realise that it's not too high and I could easily clear it, so I head over, line my self up with the flaming hoop, I start running, I throw myself through the hoop....



I fell on my face with a burning ankle, had to wear bandages and limped for weeks, still have the scars BUT THAT'S NOT THE BEST PART

PART 2
I run into the conveniently situated sea and cool my ankle, then I hobble back to my seat and start of subsequent beers. Meanwhile this german girl (a nurse apparently, not that that has much bearing) has decided she wants to do the leap of doom, but she's looking a bit nervous. So in order to be sure she clears the hoop, she's decided to give herself a boost.
She drags over a plastic chair and sets it in from of the ring, now these chairs are unstable at the best of times, never mind trying to put them up on sand.
She climbs on the chair and everyone is shouting "no don't do it you dozy person" or similar
She's evaluated her situation and thought better of it, she climbs down from the chair, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

She moves the chair closer to the hoop and gets back on, everyone decides to stop shouting at her and let darwinism take over.

She's on the chair, bracing herself like a diver, her friend is on the other side of the firey ring, beckoning her to her doom, we're all watching, expecting the worst, but what happened next was still shocking.

She does it! The german lass propels herself off the chair, but as she lifts one foot, the other sends the chair backwards, she's unbalanced, she has no momentum, she's falling forward, but unexpectedly, she lands on her foot.

One foot on either side of the ring of fire.

Her shorts quickly go up, she's standing there with a burning crotch that cannot be cured by natural yoghurt, her friends drag her out and into the sea.

Length? I doubt she was getting any after that

One benefit
It would save her waxing for a while.

Mind you, if she was German....

Ouch, one wonders how she managed to cope the rest of the holiday after setting her mimsy on fire.

I'm crossing my legs in sympathy and I'm a bloke.
