Joe recently found himself in what could be considered one of the most foolish situations of his life. He went out to light a cigarette. It was a cold fall day, so he was wearing one of his worn-out hoodies. As he attempted to light the cigarette using a torch lighter, he caught the hoodie's sleeve on fire.
Initially, Joe didn't realize what had happened, but when he noticed the flames spreading, panic set in. His instinctive reaction was to try and extinguish the fire by using his other hand. Which, unfortunately, led to the second sleeve catching fire as well. At this point, he found himself with both sleeves ablaze and the fire starting to spread.
While there may have been several rational solutions, he was too lost in the moment to consider them. The thought of removing the hoodie crossed his mind, but with both his arms in flames, it seemed impossible. So, he opted for a rather foolish tactic of flailing around desperately in an attempt to put out the fire, which only just made it worse.
In a panic, Joe rushed into the nearest building for assistance, which happened to be the bank where he had recently deposited some funds. He entered, hoping to find help, but before he could say a word, Mark, the security guard, forcefully tackled him to the ground and threw him out of the building.
The look on Joe's face as he stared back at Mark asked, "Why?"
Mark simply turned and said, "Because you can't bring firearms into a bank."
