This could have been serious

That happened to me the other day while smoking in my car. I rarely do this.. but sometimes (after a f$CKed up day at work) I do. I try to be careful.. but damn this hunk of fiery ash fell right into my lap while I am driving. What can you do? I just took the hit and smeared it with my hand burning it and my jeans. I figure better to spread it around than let it burn in one spot as a large chunk. I know.. coulda used the ash tray but I keep change in there :-)
