They said a neighborhood kid was cutting the grass and when he filled the lawn mower with gas, he sat the can down but didn't put the cap back on the can. The fumes from the can floated across the floor to the water heater pilot and it exploded taking out the garage and killing one person in the kitchen. From then I said, I never want gas.

They don't have pilot's any more.
