This has been years back but its pretty funny and I'm still alive. Where I use to live there was a bar about 2 blocks away I would walk to. I went about 3pm and ran into several good friends and ended up drinking to much. The clock was around 8:30 and I wanted to be home by 9:00 to catch some show I wanted to watch. I talked the owner into selling me an un cooked steak so I would have something to eat while watching the show. I got home and tried lighting the grill. I do it the unsafe way by turning each knob on while clicking the button. After cutting on all three burners it still would not light. So I went inside looking for a light and while inside turnd the tv on to my show. Several minutes latter I went out to light the grill. I bent down lit the match and was going to place it in that hole on the side and then cut on the gas. When the match was about five inches from the grill it went bomb and the entire grill jumped about a foot off the ground. The top which was on henges flew about 30 yards across my yard and I sat there stuned as to what just happend. I had left the gas on high and the top was shut which traped most of the gas. As I recoverd from shock and realised that I was unhurt I started looking around. The grill was cracked in several places and the top laid in half across the yard. I then noticed all my neighbors looking out their windows to see what was going on and I started laughing at myself. The funny part was that the grill was still lit and after a little work I was cooking my steak. I ate my meal I feel asleep missing the show which I had come home to see.
