That reminds me when I was a kid about 10 yrs old. We had a coal furnace. Dad showed me and told how to stoke a fire for the night. Never throw the coal dust and small pieces of coal into the furnace, that's HIS job. One night, dad tells me to go down to the basement and stoke the fire for the night. Ok, I go down and open up the door on the furnace. Grab the coal shovel and throw a shovel full in. Next shovel full had small pieces and dust that I got out of a corner. I throw that in and as usual I look into the furnace to see what's happening. As i was looking in, the coal dust exploded back into my face. I closed the door and went upstairs. Mom looked up at me and started bitchin' to my dad about me being too young to fire the furnace. Dad looked up at me and started to laugh. He knew what happened. And ask me if I learned my lesson. Then said to go clean up. I looked in the bathroom mirror. I had no eyebrows, and all of my hair on my forehead was GONE. My face was BLACK.
A little extra seasoning.

Between me and my brother. Everytime one of us had to throw coal into the furnace. We used to called "beating the dragon in the balls". Hey.....it's your turn to beat the dragon in the balls......Mom didn't like us saying that. LOL
You know they are now allowing wieners to compete in any race.
