Buddies start a fire


December 1, 2005
My barkada is composed of dudes who are die-hard Starcraft gamers. We have our PCs hooked up in a home network here, and since we’re all guys, we play with pretty much nothing but boxers on sometimes. One of our friends had these serious-looking outcrop of mangy bushes for armpit hair. As he was intensely focused on his game, we could clearly see clumps of his soggy black armpit hair threatening to smother us if we didn’t do anything about it. It even caused him to win sometimes because it was a major distraction. Suddenly, a brilliant idea washed over me as my other housemate was finishing his cigarette. “What if I set his armpit hair on fire?” We were deliberating whether or not it would burn, owing to the fact that it looked really wet. So, feeling like I was doing him a huge favor, I took a lighter, put it up to armpit range and let it rip. What we didn’t realize was that he sprayed some deodorant that day and one of the active ingredients (we investigated later) in it was butane. Pffff! The hair literally burned to a crisp in one amazing conflagration. Stank up the whole place pretty bad, too. The others thought a fuse blew. We really didn’t know what happened right after that because we were already doubled up on the floor laughing with tears in our eyes. It was like the world fell on him. My other friends even suggested burning the other side so it’d look even. He didn’t talk to us for a while.
