While I will admit there's certainly a chance that my notes from 20 years ago weren't completely accurate, I think the true story is somewhere in the middle. (The cigarette-related first story, of course, was a fabrication.) For the second one, I do seem to recall that Kenny set your paper on fire first, then you set it in the trash can. But I think it went out and then, carrying the joke further, you lit my paper, and when that one was also placed in the rubbish bin, it combined with the Independent to create the now legendary ring in J.P.'s carpet.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for adding eyewitness depth and detail to this account!Rick Reitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385007432181321272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143112022596829415.post-14693067689026329712008-10-29T12:11:00.000-07:002008-10-29T12:11:00.000-07:00Correction on the fire...this was not a cigarette-...Correction on the fire...this was not a cigarette-related mishap. Rather, I was reading The Independent when Kenny Prunty quietly set the newspaper aflame. It must have been burning for ten seconds before I realized what was happening and stuffed it into the rubbish bin. That, of course, set everything in the bin on fire.<BR/><BR/>That's my story and I'm sticking to it.The JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424013649586165053noreply@blogger.com
