We're the Only Ones Seasoned Enough

A police officer accidentally used pepper spray instead of a fire extinguisher on a man who set himself on fire Wednesday in downtown Portland, police said. [More]
Understandable. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally used carbon dioxide instead of chipotle sauce to marinate meat for fajitas.

But then again, I'm not a highly-trained "Only One."

  1. And of course, this cop is still carrying a loaded gun, but, no worries mate. That is unless you need CPR, in which case, she'll probably shoot you only three times before she realizes her mistake. She'll make captain before midnight.

  2. Howinheck do you mistake a pepper spray canister for a fire extinguisher, when the former is so much smaller than the latter?

    This is one really dumb cop! Ranks right down there with Lee Paige!

    now, choose the right one when you're a bit jazzed because someone is on fire right in front of you.

    hey - at least the guy was tangy afterwords.
