That's Different

That happened to my last year when the gas main split.
I turned up to my cousins BBQ 3 hours early.
We were really pissed before the guests arrived, got even more pissed as the
night wore on.
He got an almighty bollocking from his missus the next morning.
Why do women always wait until the morning?

 

Well at least it's a new experience for me.

About 3 hours ago the police knocked my door and said "Good afternoon,
grab a coat you're being evacuated" At our crossroads in the village
an Oxygen tanker had crashed and they were worried that it might
explode. I'm back home now (yes obviously).

I'll bet you haven't heard those words since 1941

 

What, no photos with the nice policemen? ;-)

Glad you're ok.

 

I even found my old bed roll and tin of Spam......bastard.

 

It might explode and cover the area in highly toxic oxygen? Whats next,
evacuating fish because an evian tanker crashes against some rocks?

 

No it wasn't at all. It was meant to be a joke, and I'd have prefered
you found it funny.

 

I think the issue is relating to the explosion itself, not what is
released afterwards.

Why do you think you aren't allowed to smoke in the wards in a hospital?

Un-cork me to reply

 

Fair point.

TA.

 

I hope you're joking. Do you not know how flammable and explosive
pure oxygen is?

 

You can't smell when the old ones need their sheets changing.

 

Pure oxygen is highly explosive stuff! It can also be highly toxic too.

Because of the jobsworth bureaucrats.
I tried a cigarette in a pure oxygen atmosphere.
It burns like magnesium.

The oxygen concentration even with an oxygen mask
is not enough to be dangerous to smokers.

 

Best chat-up line I've heard for ages.

 

Men in uniform, eh?

 

Ask the crew of Apollo 2.

 

Just about anything burns in pure oxygen, including people who are wearing
clothes which generate minute static sparks whenever they move.

Pure oxygen is fucking dangerous stuff.

 

I heard about that on the local traffic news radio...and thought of
you.

ugh. Anybody got any amnesia inducing pills or summat?

I really would never have believed it ;-)

 

ITYF that oxygen is a rather efficient oxidant.
