On the very day that we get the the first picture of  a lack hole, we are reminded that education ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A baseball field in Connecticut is in shambles after 25 gallons of gas were dumped on a wet infield and set on fire in order to dry it out.

The hope to dry out the infield before a Saturday Ridgefield High School baseball game resulted in flames shooting 15 feet into the air and an estimated $50,000 worth of damage.

It appears that about 15 to 20 parents took turns dumping the 25 gallons of gas on the field while more than a 100 people stood around and watched.

Plus there was a crowd of about 100 parents watching, with their children.

So now the entire infield has to be dug out and taken to a toxic waste dump, or in the alternative, served for dinner to whatever genius thought up this plan.

There were at least 100  people there and not one single one of them thought, “Hey, let’s look up gasoline, fire, dry infield on google and see how it’s done.”

Next time, they should bring extension cords and hair dryers.

We let these people vote, y’all.

Thanks to EJ for the heads up.
