I know I'm treading on thin ice here with this topic, but y'all know the expression: "I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire"

Can your urine put out fires?

Can your urine put out fires?

It depends on the urethra/inferno ratio.

I don't know how to do brakes on a Mack or Peterbilt.

I don't know calculus.

You can in fact piss out a fire, but you shouldn't piss on a wax fire.

No sir. Nuh-uh. Do not ever, under any circumstances, piss on a wax fire.

The fire demons come for Mr. Happy, and make him Mr. Sad.

I know Mythbusters disproved the pissing on the 3rd rail theory.

Whats worse is the next morning building the fire, cooking breakfast on it, and wondering what that funny taste is.

Self adjusting slack adjusters do well, untill the shoes are completely worn out!

or the DOT catches you under 3/32, with cracked shoes , with geater then 20% of the brakes are inoperative, you have an audible air leak , cracks in your maxi chamber , you have a non audible air leak greater then 3 psi per minute , slack adusters are out of adjustment (even the self adjusting ones) or you have a chaffed brake line through the outer reinforcing ply

I watched Subnet almost come dangerously close to injuring himself while working on his jeep brakes. Best entertainment on the internet that night.

I figured every guy who ever went camping had done that.

Oh, don't get me started on them (DOT) I had a DOT and his "trainee" stop me once. Trainee was rolling around on the creeper under the air dryer when it popped off. He got a wet face and set up so quickly he rang his bell on the frame. One of the finest moments a trucker could have!

Well.. It is not an ABC fire exstinguisher but fires that react well to water should be just fine.

What do you think urine is? Gasoline?

I have pissed on a couple mortar tubes...

It's a non-volatile liquid, of course it can.

Almost anything that is liquid will put out a fire, except Gas, oil or diesel. So of course.

And yes, you can piss out a fire if the fire is small enough and you've had plenty to drink.

Is it not a liquid?

Posted: 9/10/2010 5:22:36 PM EDT
