The smell of burnt hair

[FlyingJ 0]

My guess is that there are few smells more foul than that of burnt hair. The gas grill wouldn't start tonight so I decided to light it w/ one of those long lighter things. Guess I didn't wait quite long enough for the gas to dissipate before trying again because it lit in a freakin' fireball! I now have no hair up to about halfway up my arm.

When it happened I actually jumped back w/ all my weight on the foot that I just injured, so because of that pain I didn't even notice my arm. After getting settled on the couch with some ice on my foot I couldn't figured out what that horrid smell was, and then I realized it was my arm!

Ugh...simply awful. Brings back some bad memories from HS Chemistry class when a classmate got a little too close to the ole' bunson burner.

At least you didn't try to light the grill with your foot and you were naked

Whoa...I might need to take another painkiller just to help scatter my brain enough to forget that mental picture before going to bed!

My friends used to beg me to light my chest hair on fire at the bar. They would die laughing and then complain about the smell.

Burning human flesh smells much worst.....burnt hair is usually followed by burnt flesh when using a cutting torch in a confined space

Were you in my chemistry class? Cause I did that, and you're right, the smell was awful...
