At a glance I read this as "Have you ever been beheaded?"
Onto my story (see also: don’t try this at home):
I'm about 14 years old, and my friends and I have recently discovered that if you mix equal parts pool shock and brake fluid, and wait about a minute, it creates an intense burst of flames that can reach upwards of 20 feet tall, and last about 30 seconds to a minute. As young scientists we got into the only 16 year old's truck, and drove through neighborhoods stealing lawn ornaments to blow up. After a while of searching we found exactly what we were looking for... a ceramic statue of two coyotes howling upwards... it was hollow and the top had a hole in it. We promptly drove it over to a storm sewer, walked about 100 yards into the darkness, and set it up with a nice pickle jar of the pool shock/brake fluid combo inside. It starts to flame up, fire shooting out of the top of the coyote statue, across the ceiling of the storm sewer, and down the walls. About this time we notice that there is a bum sleeping about 5 feet behind our now very-on-fire statue. He starts to get up, and we start to run back down the tunnel... at this exact moment, the ceramic shatters, burning the clothing on quite a few of us. It had rained somewhat recently, and although the tunnel was not full of water, there had been about an 8 foot long pool of water at the end of the tunnel. I ran as hard as i could, closed my eyes and jumped... didn’t make it. Everyone else made it to the truck before me, and they took off. Mud caked on my jeans up to my knees, I had to run from the now very irate bum, and then walk home.
