That's Your Sign

Unbelievable and yet...

I heard this story recently, and if I wouldn't have heard it from a reliable source, I wouldn't believe it at all:

A girl is out with a guy on a date. They are sitting at a table which has candles located on each table. As it turns out, her long curly hair gets a little too close to the fire and before they know what happened, her hair catches a flame. Possibly due to chemicals or ointments in her hair, the fire flares rather quickly.

Now let me just say at this point: there are rare times in a man's life where he can throw a beverage at his date. As we all know, it is usually the other way around. Our friend did not take advantage of this opportunity. ;)

Rather, the lady grabbed her Coke, tossed its entire contents on herself and doused the flames. Looking more like Medusa at this point, she peered at him through her singed, sticky hair and saw his just staring, his mouth agape. No movement whatsoever.

Needless to say, their relationship extinguished.
