Bikini babe with a bong. What could go wrong?
College kids? Bongs? Fire?
Feign surprise:
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Fire investigators are blaming an unattended bong for a fire at the Sigma Chi fraternity at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
No one was hurt. But Sunday night’s fire occurred on the same floor where a student died in a 1999 blaze.
Fire officials said the blaze could have been worse. A student used a fire extinguisher to knock back the flames in the third-floor bedroom before firefighters arrived and finished extinguishing some still-smoldering debris.
Damage from the fire is estimated to total around $5,000.
Battalion Fire Chief Steve Sapp says police confiscated the bong and took samples to determine whether it was used for drugs.
It’s been a while since I was in college, but I pretty much remember bongs being used for one thing and one thing only. Are college kids today using them for something other than smoking drugs? Crazy kids…
Fraternity president Daniel Patterson says a small piece of charcoal left on a windowsill, not a bong, started the fire.
He says the fraternity has a no smoking and drug policy in effect.
Uh, huh. Sure they do. I’ll bet they have a no under-age drinking policy, too. And a no-date rape policy. Or a no-pledge hazing policy.

A burning coal?
Yeah, those ‘cherry’ coals can sure get hot.
Depending on the way the laws in the state are written, it may be insufficient evidence without a test.
As to one thing and one thing only: A friend in college told me how she was doing volunteer work and was assigned to visit an elderly woman. The lady had bongs all over her house with plastic flowers in them. She bought them at garage sales and thought they were unusual looking vases.
