Flip Flop Fool

So I unintentionally started a forest fire while burning some leaves today. I caught my flip flop on fire and panicked then flung it down into the woods. The size 11 & 1/2 fireball soared through the air like it was launched by a midevil catapult....it  landed directly in a pile of dry leaves and branches. By the time I did the one shoe hobble for the water hose and back I had a 3 alarm fire going. On a good note I have one extra flip flop from when I did the same thing last year.
