When I was a kid I tried to light the gas-grill in our boat for no specific reason. The matches were a bit moist though and sparked, but didn't want to catch fire. Meanwhile, the gas was already on, while I was still hacking away matches on the matchbox.

Suddenly one lit up. But the joy from that didn't last long, because all I remember next was a big whoosh and the smell of burned hair.

Nothing was burning, so I quickly turned the gas off, and walked out like nothing happened. Apparently my missing hair and eyebrows, the big flash of light from the boat, and the smell of burning had already given away what I had been doing.

My face felt like I had severe sunburn for days.
