Electronic Cigarettes : Exploding Danger?

Harley Myles — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:14:36 +0000

One of the biggest advantages of "smoking" an Electronic cigarette, is that it's supposed to be safer than a "real" cigarette. Right?

Well, I know of a guy in Florida that would tell you they're NOT safer at all. He would tell you, that is, if his two front teeth and a chunk of his tongue weren't gone from having an E-Cigarette explode in his mouth, with the impact of a bottle-rocket!!

Along with losing his front teeth and a chunk of his tongue, he also suffered burns to his face AND the battery flew out, landed in his closet and set his house on fire!

Man Without Pants is Not a Band Name

Adam West — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:32:43 +0000

I've been in radio for quite some time, and let me tell you this industry attracts some, shall we say 'quirky' individuals. Keep in mind, most of us couldn't hold down a 'real' job, and that's why we're here. So when I read the story about a radio guy in Florida being arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior, I didn't think that much about it. Let's face it, in radio it's just not that surprising. Then I realized that it happened in Florida. Florida- the sunshine state, where most of the dumb criminals and weird news stories seem to some from lately. So, when you take someone that works in a profession that attracts weirdos (excepting me, of course), and put them in a state where weird behavior is commonplace, hilarity is bound to ensue.
