No virgins for this fraud. I set my pants on fire every time I go camping and it never makes the “news”.

What is up with “Arab descent”? Is it disgraceful to be an Arab? Is it the new A-word?

I once knew this very pretty girl who’s disgruntled ex-boyfriend showed up at the bank that she worked and did this same thing but succeeded.
Yea, he reallly showed her......what an idiot.

It’s tough, but I hope she was able to dismiss it from her mind. That was all about him, and had nothing to do with her in the real sane world. I don’t care what you do to a guy, him setting himself on fire doesn’t even come close to a reasoned reaction. I can actually understand suicide. Setting yourself on fire? Seriously?

I’m sure it haunted her. That’s too bad.

If you build a man a fire, you can warm him for a night.

If you set a man on fire, you can warm him for the rest of his life.
