Firearms

My friend was filling up his car the other day, but the automatic shutoff was not working properly and he got splashed with some gas. He wiped up with a paper towel, paid, and left. A short while down the road, the idiot decides to light a cigarette, and as he does, he lights his shirt sleeve on fire. He stuck his arm out the window to try and blow the flame out while he pulled over to the side of the road. Just as all this was happening a cop passed him, negotiated a U-turn, pulled up behind him, jumped out with a fire extinguisher and doused the flames before they could cause any serious burns.

He then asked my brother if he was ok. My brother replied in the affirmative, and thanks very much. The cop whips out his ticket book, and starts writing. My brother asked what he was getting a ticket for. The cop replied that he was writing him up for illegal possession of a fire arm.
