A trio of mates went camping this week and forgot to take a hot plate for cooking.
They managed to find an old street sign (council worker chucked it after replacing it or something, not stolen) not too far out and get back to the camp and cooking.
Anyway one of the guys says he doesn't want to cook off some manky road sign, but the other two go ahead.
Sure enough, half an hour later the pair that cooked off the sign and both seriously unwell, "firing at both ends" is the expression I think

Bit of lead paint or metal or whatever is in those signs anyway seems to be the culprit.
Good times

So the lesson is, remember to bring proper cooking gear
