#974: Make sure the beer can is empty before you put your cigarette out in it.  Someone (you!) may still be drinking it.

Ugh! :angry: A lesson learned the hard way!

I wish I could say that all it takes is once to learn that one.

The only way to avoid it is to train yourself and your friends to reflexively crush (OK, dent, I could never crush them) the can as soon as they finish off the beer, and drink only from the unmolested cans. And check anyway.

Rule #876 - Friends don't let friends drink beer out of cans (unless 100% unavoidable)

Rule #877 Flaming drinks rarely impress the opposite sex.

You have to remember the days when you were young and poor. When that $5.99 case of Iron City -- as opposed to the $5.99 6-pack of Heiniken -- was all you can afford.

Never forget the lessons of poverty...lest you have to learn over again.
