LaDeDah + Fire = BAD STUFF

As the afternoon sun faded on this glorious day I puttered around the dining room at my latest future former place of employment lighting candles on the table tops and making conversation with the guests. As I neared one particular table the woman at it caught my eye and touched the candle holder in a gesture fraught with "please sir may I have some light". I rushed forward to oblige. (have I mentioned that I am terrified of fire and use a foot long grill lighter for this?)
Suddenly she was waving at me and saying, "NO, No! The oxygen!"
It turns out that her elderly husband was attached to a traveling oxygen tank and in my fervor I almost blew him up. Woops.
