Valentine's Liaison Leads to Fire

This cracked me up (from the BBC via FireFightingNews.com).

Firefighters have issued a warning about using candles after a man's underpants caught fire while a young couple "celebrated" Valentine's Day. Crews were called to the house in Henstead Road, Southampton, shortly before midnight on Tuesday after the blaze started in the bedroom.

The discarded pants had caught fire on a nearby candle while the couple were enjoying a Valentine's Day liaison.

Ha! This gives a new meaning for the phrase "hot pants".
