How the hell does this happen???

[Pflugerville Ag]

This woman had to be drunk and passed out b/c there is no way that this would happen if she was sober.

PHOENIX -- A Phoenix man came home to a gruesome scene Monday: his wife on fire in the front yard.

When the man arrived home shortly after 10 p.m., police said, he found his wife, Donna Owens, 67, sitting in a chair on the front lawn, engulfed in flames.

Police said she had fallen asleep while smoking. Her husband tried to extinguish the flames and was also burned. [/URL]

The couple was transported to Maricopa Medical Center; authorities said the woman suffered burns to more than 50 percent of her body.

She later died of her burns, police said.

Her husband was treated for burns to his hands and arms and is expected to make a full recovery.

If she wasn't drunk, maybe she was on something pretty hard...

[Dustin00whoop]

All depends on what she was smoking. :huh:

[Superaggie79]

there was a case like this on csi and she had tried to commit suicide

[texags08]

dang that sucks to come home to that... Although old people are senile sometimes... My landlord was painting another one of their houses and chugged a cup of paint and didnt even realize it...

[aggie1997]

Amazing that he came home when he did. I just don't understand how you fall asleep, light yourself on fire with a cigarette, and aren't able to put it out yourself. Very strange.

I never saw where it said she was smoking a cigarette.

True....just giving her the benefit of the doubt. Didn't want to make an assumption she was doing something illegal and have everyone on here think I was just writing a flaming post (no pun intended).

I hear that even at her age, she was quite a hottie.

[whitelightnin_23]

she was setting an example for all of us that smoking kills!

[Dustin00whoop]

As he pulled into the driveway her husband could be heard singing:

Now that old flame might not be stronger, but its been burnin longer than
Any spark I might have started in your eyes.

[Dustin00whoop]

Or maybe it was:

She keeps the homefires burning
While I'm out earning a living in a world

people don't usually smoke the funky stuff in a chair in their FRONT yard :huh:

Evidently you have never been down to South Austin, or the 5th Ward, or across the tracks in El Campo for that matter.

"A hunka hunka burnin' love" ...

Thats not "across" the tracks. Thats the other side. Whats funny is that everyone still calls it 'across the tracks' but the tracks haven't been there since '95 or so.

Smokin' Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Alseep and Caught on Fire

I Fell Asleep In A Burning Chair Of Fire
I Rolled Around, Around, Around
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
I'm On Fire
I'm On Fire

I Fell Asleep In A Burning Chair Of Fire
I Rolled Around, Around, Around
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
I'm On Fire
I'm On Fire

The Taste Of Tobacco Is Sweet
When Addictions Like Ours Meet
I Fell Asleep Just Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

I Fell Alseep In A Burning Chair Of Fire
I Rolled Around, Around, Around
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
I'm On Fire
I'm On Fire

I Fell Alseep In A Burning Chair Of Fire
I Rolled Around, Around, Around
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
I'm On Fire
I'm On Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

I'm On Fire

I'm On Fire

Well the last time I went there was '94, so I am in the clear!

[Dustin00whoop]

P-ville, did you write that yourself? I'm f**king LMAO!!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Dustin00whoop]

Although crack instead of tobacco would sound better.

Just wrote it. Didn't take very long!

Spontaneous combustion. How would the cops know that she was smoking & fell asleep?

I'm not going to be the one to add more fuel to the fire.
