A woman called Joseph?

I just have a vision of a little spider running around with its arse on fire, bumping into stuff and setting it alight.

Sigh, reality just can't live up to the pictures in my head...

If this guy had managerd to off himself, he would be a serious candidate for a Darwin award. I don't know what would possess someone to squirt fluid of something indoors and light it.

I guess he's fired (Sorry, I couldn't help myself).
