Explosive Job Performance Otherwise Known As, Flaming Stupidity
RhyDin Field is home to some of the most interesting and advanced aircraft in the world and also the target for thieves. A private security firm was hired to patrol the grounds, protecting the aircraft and equipment from being stolen.
The thefts declined sharply the first month, but fuel consumption notably rose. The trend continued on, baffling Mr. Huckenchuck, the manager of the airstrip, until one night a call was put in to the RhyDin Fire Brigade about a plane on fire at the air field.
By the time the brigade reached the airstrip, the plane had almost completely melted into the tarmac. One of the firemen noticed a figure laying on the ground some twenty feet away. Upon inspection, they saw it was the securtiy guard. Medics revived him so the City Guard could question the man about what happened.
In his drug induced haze, he told the story on how he had been siphoning fuel from the small planes for his vehicle. The plane he had selected that evening, had a baffled fuel system making it difficult to do exactly as the security guard wanted. When he couldn't get the siphon hose into the tank, he lit a match to see what was blocking the hose.
And the rest' That's explosive history.
