Question Posted Saturday October 18 2003, 11:33 am
So I was walking this evening and I accidently stepped into some kerosene. I just shrug it off and keep walking with my jazz hands lookin' all cool when this guy runs by and yells "That building is on fire!" So I start running towards it all like "yeah, who's your hero now?" with my jazz hands, looking cool. I get next to the firy part and my shoes are on fire randomly. Now I'm on a laptop someone gave me. What should I do?!

That might be a good idea, you see when your shoes burn and or melt away (depending on if they have rubber soles or not) your feet will then burn, and that is not a good thing so, please take off your shoes then you won't get burned...

1) Fan them with your jazz hands,
2) find a giant snowbank and jump into it, or
3) Stop, drop, and roll!
