Man burns pal's crotch as a prank

CALGARY -- A Calgary man could go to jail for lighting his co-worker's crotch on fire in a drunken prank that caused burns and scarring to 5% of the man's body. Michael William Cleare, 29, pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing bodily harm yesterday.

Jeffery Dale Lewis suffered second- and third-degree burns and permanent scarring to his inner thigh and genitals in the June 8, 2003, incident.

After a night of drinking, the two men returned to Cleare's southwest Calgary home.

After Lewis fell asleep on a chair with his legs spread apart, Cleare ran a lighter along the inside of the man's right thigh and crotch.

The intention, according to an agreed statement of facts signed by defence lawyer Bruce Corenblum and entered as an exhibit at Cleare's provincial court appearance yesterday, was for the heat to wake the man up.

Instead, Lewis's pants caught fire. He awoke and rushed to the kitchen where the two men extinguished the flames.

He then went back to sleep until the next morning when Cleare drove him to hospital.

Lewis later underwent surgery, during which skin was grafted to his upper thigh.

Talk about your rude awakenings...

It was only 5%, but it appears to have been the most important 5%.

Oddly, I've never had the urge to light someone's crotch on fire.

how in the world do you fall asleep after getting burned downstairs?

He was probably drunk beyond consciousness.

Ya see...if ya shave your short and curlies you would be flame retardent

flame retardent Leroy?

that one came up in my fof universe

I had my friends light my foot on fire while they were in a drunken state. They come in after a long night of boozing and wake my ass up to tell me about the fights they didn't get into and the chicks they didn't score with. I am standing there in my boxers talking to two of them while a third gathers up a bunch of crumpled up paper (probably class notes he borrowed from me) and builds a little nest around my foot. i am completely oblivious until he lights it on fire. I am sure they consider it one of the funniest things they have ever seen, but that shit hurt. bad. Luckily my rage subsided before I killed all three. Dumbasses.

I'm disappointed that this thread doesn't have any pictures of chicks in hotpants...

Just don't make fun of wrestling again. Please.
