In the heat of the moment

One night, boyfriend and girlfriend go home after a romantic dinner. Girlfriend decides to throw a towel on top of the floor lamp for some "mood" lighting. Boyfriend and girlfriend start making out in the bedroom. A few minutes later, boyfriend says, "It smells like smoke in here." They look up and see that the towel is on fire. Boyfriend jumps up and gets the towel off the lamp to extinguish it with some water. If mood lighting is required, traditional candles might serve as a safer alternative...

Note: Girlfriend gave me permission to share this amusing story on the condition that their identities be protected.
