Reminder to smokers at gas pump

To the editor:

Recently I witnessed a gas station attendant asking a man to put out his cigarette. The guy was astounded and puzzled, unable to figure out what the problem was.

As a public service, I thought I would prepare this list that smokers could cut out of the paper and read before heading into a gas station:

Gasoline.

Fire.

Explosion.

Death.
