Today, my wife was complaining she always has to put up the Christmas tree. So this year while she was out shopping, I decided to put it up. I set it too close to the fireplace and it caught fire. I'm a firefighter. FML

At least you knew how to put it out quickly.

Doh! but to be fair, even the best chef ruins a dish sometimes - don't be too hard on yourself!

I'm a firefighter and maybe its just my department, but we all suck horribly at starting fires whether on purpose or on accident lol props.
