oh god it burns!

i have one of those stories that you just can't make up. oh, that's right... it's that good. here goes: uh, i was filling my bike up with gas really late last night. as i leaned over to see how full my tank was... i lifted up the visor of my helmet... and just as this happend- the gas pump slipped out of my tank and sprayed me in the face. at this point you're probably asking yourself... hm, how does that feel? and let me just say... it burns like you wouldn't believe. so what do you do when you've gone temporarly blind at a gas station in the middle of the night with no one around? well first i turned the pump off* because the last thing we need is for my bike to burst into flames. Then i set the bike on the stand, took off my helmet and stood there for a good 30 seconds. however, my eyes were unable to tear do to the unfortunate evaporative effects of the gasoline. so, with every pore of my skin on fire, and 5% visibility, i did what i had to do... i spit in my hands and rubbed it into my eyes! i'm not even kidding here. i've heard that'll do the trick, and it really does work. anyways, that's my story... there's not really a moral here, except don't get gasolin in your eyes
