An IT engineer who attempted to dispatch a spider with an improvised flamethrower ended up on the wrong end of his own can of deodorant, the Sun reports.
Dad-of-two Chris Welding, of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, explained: "It was about 10.30pm last night. My wife was getting ready for bed and suddenly she let out a scream. She said there was a spider in the bathroom and asked me to get rid of it - neither she or the kids would go in there.
"The spider had crawled into the recess behind the loo and there was no way I could get to it."
He continued: "Stupid as it is, I grabbed a can of deodorant and a lighter and sprayed it behind the loo. The flame shot out and went round the back of the toilet and came back out at me. It was a bit of a shock."

That's what socialized medicine will do for you ..... a couple of small burns on the fingers and you get a 'free' ride in an ambulance where you are taken to the hospital and told you're ok .... all for 'free'.
If this had happened to anyone I know ... not only would they not have gone to the dr. but they wouldn't even be telling anyone it happened! LOL
