AUDIO: E-CIGARETTE EXPLODES IN MAN'S PANTS
A Kentucky man was hospitalized Tuesday with second-degree burns after the battery in his electronic cigarette exploded in his pants pocket. Employees at the Shell gas station in Owensboro, Kentucky, where the bizarre incident took place, were shocked to see Josh Hamilton’s pants suddenly burst into flames. Surveillance video shows Hamilton running outside and struggling to remove his pants before the fire is extinguished by another employee. He was later taken to a hospital and treated for second-degree burns.
* E-cigarette? More like OW-cigarette!
* Good thing he wasn’t on a hoverboard at the time.
* “Is that an exploding e-cigarette in your pocket, or are you just incredibly hot to trot?”
* Great, do you know how hard it was to make cigarettes MORE dangerous?
* Okay, no more batteries. What we need are e-cigarettes that are solar powered.
* Should have gone with a pipe.
* Maybe it’s a fashion statement – he’s bringing back hot pants.
* That surveillance video is embarrassing but it’s really going to help him with the lawsuit.
* Time to switch to chewing tobacco.
