Red face NE Off-Topic (Catching you bench on fire and other randomness)

This thread can just be for general ranting purposes

Now, for those who don't know me.... I repair musical instruments. Whilst cleaning one today I was using my alcohol lamp and acetone to remove super glue (some of you can probably all ready see where this is heading). I was heating a key cup and dipping a Q-tip into the acetone... when all of a sudden I knocked over the acetone spraying not only my bench surface of cotton matting, but also catching the key and flame, which proceeds to burst into flames. It reaches down and catches my cotton mat on fire. I throw it on the ground and stomp on it, in an attempt to put out this fireball I've created. Finally, a co-worker takes my water bottle and empties it on the fire. Crisis-averted...
So, after that ordeal, I had a small burn on my arm, slightly warmed pumas and shins, and a subtle camp-fire smell in the work area....
Just thought I'd share.
