General Stupidity `
~ `-. .---.
Three janitors at an elementary school . ~= -o |
in Ceres, California, tried to freeze a gopher ~` |___|
to death by spraying it with a solvent that .' _____|_____
freezes gum and wax so it can be peeled or | |
chipped away. Jeff Davis, 35, said he and his |~~~~~~~~~~~|
colleagues had sprayed several cans of the gum | |
remover on the gopher inside a small, poorly | c---c |
ventilated utility room with the doors closed | /o o\ |
when one of them tried to light a cigarette. | (= T =) |
Sparks from the lighter ignited the solvent, | '-W-' |
causing an explosion that blew the janitors out | |
of the utility room, sending them and 16 pupils | |
to the hospital. The gopher survived and was | |
later released in a field. Ceres Unified School | |
District Superintendent Bruce Newlin commented |~~~~~~~~~~~|
that the men "used extraordinarily poor jgs`-=========-`
judgment."
