That’s what happens when you don’t clean the smoldering lint out of the dryer exhaust. Toasty Taco’s ?

I once saw the aftermath of a supremely dumb move in Ohio.

apparently, someone pulling a very large trailer full of hay tossed a smoldering cigarette butt out the window and lit his load on fire. when he saw the hay flaming behind him, he started swerving back and forth on the road (not sure what he expected it to do, but what it did was drop flaming piles of hay all over the freeway). this went on for several miles before the moron stopped driving and got out of the truck. the fire dept eventually showed up to put out the fire.

I wonder if this was like that (semi related to the smoldering dryer lint comment above)

I believe what is shown is a poorly executed attempt to break into the "car wash" business . I think I recall a 3 stooges episode along the same lines. or maybe it was cheech and chong - you never can predict what happens when you smoke too much.......420

I think they're pre wired to spontaneously combust after so many miles. ?

My wife is always nagging me about forgetting to take the lint out of the dryer filter, but I always laugh and say, "what do you think it is going to do, blow up the house?" Now I know....

I believe the technical term for such a person is, "smoldering idiot"!
