Lorry driver's sausage gaffe

[DarkChildOne]

A German lorry driver set fire to his cab after deciding to cook himself some sausages while driving.

Walter Reckling, 46, kept the small gas cooker for roadside use but decided to use it on the road as he was late with a delivery.

He was cooking two sausages while travelling past Niederwuerschnitz in Saxony, Germany, when the cooker toppled over.

It set fire to the seat which in turn set fire to the cab of the vehicle.

Reckling was treated for smoke inhalation at a local hospital where he was also found to have been three times over the legal alcohol limit.

Thats one of the most stupid things I've heard someone doing. ^^

Reminds me of a passenger jet plane that had departed from India that had to make an emergency landing because a passenger had setup and lit a fire to brew tea. The airlines serve you hot tea for free for crying out loud!

There are far too many stupid things modified to use in cars. I used to work at Spencer's, and we sold Lava Lamps for your car...THE CAR!

Kind of reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons when Homer is steering with his knees to that he can multi-task while driving.

I think it would be kind of fun. Eating a 5 course meal while waiting on pastries playing video games on route 66.

Then again it sounds a bit greasy.

*giggle, laugh, roar* How someone could so stupid is completely beyond me. I can understand that it's hard work and stuff, sure, but buying a hotdog on a gas station only takes half a minute if there's not a line. Better than frying the whole truck, no?

I still love this story. =)
