Does this count? I was walking along the viaduct. On Christmas day. With a can of gasoline in one hand. And a baseball cap in the other. Seattle Mariners. And I came across a bum. A homeless person. Bum. Lying by the side of the road. Leaned up on his elbow. And I asked if he wanted something for his head. I think those were my exact words. Would you like something to cover your head? And when he said, Yeah. Yes, he would. I poured the gasoline all over him. Dumped it right on his head. But I didn't light it.
