Unfortunately,I myself have nothing to report.The only thing that might qualify is when I used a torn off piece of a newspaper as a taper to light a cigarette and as it was only a small piece it burned a little faster than I anticipated and I had to drop it.It floated underneath an armchair and set fire to the hessian which some idiot manufacturer had thought best to cover the springs with.It was an antique armchair and very dry due to being near the fire for many years and it more or less conflagrated in too short a space of time for the state the party was in to deal with and the house had burned down by the time the fire brigade arrived.
But it wasn't my house so it didn't really matter much.
This thread is a fine way to assess other members-- the ones who come forward, at least.
You don't seem too interested in wearing the idiot crown. Burning down someone elses house will only earn you the honor if you call yourself an Idiot at the end or somewhere in the middle or in the beginning.
Therefore, what you have done, is cancelled. You are not an Idiot.
