[TheForge] Why an acetylene leak is not desirable

[Jerry Frost]

Miss who?

In my more adventurous youth a couple friends and I . . . Oh, that's right I 
don't talk about the oxy acet, the 10' weather ballon and the two 10' 
methane ballon lift units nor how many blocks away wondows broke . . . Nope, 
I never mention such things, not me.
