Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Campground

[Merv]

Ok so we all know you shouldnt throw your cigarette buts out the window. but here is a new twist on the reasons.
While heading to the campground we had the truck bed full of firewood. While on the way we started smelling something burning. Of course the wife thinks my truck has a problem. I tell here i dont smell anything. A littl efurther down the road I come to a stop sign.
While turning at the intersection I notice smoke pouring out from just behind the truck. I thought maybe my brakes were going bad so I pull over to check out the smoke.
Whell Im sure you can guess where the smoke was coming from. A cigarette but that the wife tossed out had gone into the bed of the truck and started the firewood on fire. The 55 mph wind had helped fan the flame. Luckily we didnt have the camper start on fire. Just a few pieces of wood and melted the bedliner a little.
I had to have the wife get into the camper and hand out some water to put the fire out.
The event was a little scary at first, But now it is funny. only cause nowone was hurt or anything was damaged.
Now she uses a pop can for an ash tray.
I told her i prefer to light the campfire at the campground from now on.
