Yes, He Made A Spectacle Of Himself
A short-sighted Austrian farmer set his house on fire after mistaking the fridge for the fireplace. He had left the door of the fridge open and said: "I put firelighters and wood in what I thought was the usual place, and suddenly there was smoke everywhere." He promised firefighters that he would get better spectacles.
FOOTNOTE: Alight relief.

short sighted? the man had to be blind ... what a funny NOT mistake
Oh, sparks! ;-)
Lucky me, every now and then I put my cold cup of tea in the fridge instead of the microwave. Safer than kindlings, wouldn't you agree?
Very interesting. Also very ironic.

Hope you are doing good David! :)
Yikes! I think he might need more than new glasses!
And lay off the bourbon, perhaps? Hmmm...definitely would have run a b/a on this one lol!

How else was he supposed to make a smoked ham sandwich?
Oh good grief.....
Sadly, that could probably happen to me in a few more years. Although the refrigerator is quite a ways from the wood stove. Hopefully that will save me from myself.
That is either a very funny or very sad story. I hope he fairs well.

Oh dear! Poor old chap needsmore than new glasses I think.
Oh c'mon! Unless his fridge in the same spot as his fireplace how could that happen?
These things happen. One day I absent mindedly put my oven gloves on to open the fridge door.
Congratulations for being a Blog of Note.
I'd guess that he could've put the fire out with a fire extinguisher...but most likely he thought it was a stereo system and had it hooked up to the tv.
...hes the real life version of mr. magoo!
Coming from someone who once found her purse in the fridge, stuff happens, eh? Grin.
I wonder if any alcohol was involved....
Oh MY! :)
