This reminds me of a story.
I was like 7 or 8 years old. We lived in this 9 or 10 unit townhome-plex. One of the guys living there was in his 60's or thereabouts. Was always in his garage with the door open working on his dune buggy. He had bikini ladies posters plastered all over the garage walls. He even had a dog named Bully.
So anyway, for some reason my older brother and I thought the dude was cool but honestly looking back on it the guy was kind of a quack (I guess we all are in one way or another).
But what happened was that one day he had just gotten back from maybe test driving his dune buggy or running the engine. He was working in the garage with the door open. I'm admiring the header/manifold (whatever exhaust piping was sticking out of the back) because it looked super cool, and I think either I wanted to see what a weld felt like or he was trying to goad me into it (he was super troll-y about things) but thought I wouldn't.
So of course, I touched it and burnt my finger.
Anyway he felt so guilty that later on he brought a box of popsicles over to our house.
This is the best example image I can find:
The end!
