Wow, e-cigs can kill you in more than one way.

My first thought was - Samsung. That’s what Mr. B thought when he saw flames shooting out of a guy’s backpack at SJC. Turns out, it was a battery, just not inside a Samsung phone.

That lawyer is an idiot… Why would you bring your ecig to a courthouse? Addicted much?

I once had a professor set himself on fire - he’d put his pipe in his pocket and hadn’t made sure it was completely empty, luckily no harm done except to his jacket. He was the same prof who had the habit of putting the pointing stick over his shoulders and pulling down on it. He managed to break it in two.

Count me skeptical.

In a related matter, when one of my s’s lived in NOLA, he found this particularly amusing and sent me the link: Assistant DA had a joint fall out of his pocket - IN COURT . Idiot. https://usnews.newsvine.com/_news/2012/10/03/14203537-marijuana-joint-falls-out-of-assistant-city-attorneys-pocket-in-court?lite

I’m waiting for the news of the contempt of court charge.

Lucky dude, he was not injured, and Costco gave him a pair of pants. :slight_smile:

I was shopping at Costco today, and noticed that they have a pile of men’s khakis strategically located across from their cell phone sales booth. :smiley:

Makes you wonder if he was a truthful lawyer ;))

ivvcsf my lawyer wears a pinstriped zoot suit and drives a Lamborghini. I trust him.

I saw a blurb about this incident a week or two ago and thought it was ironic!
