This guy wouldn't have liked eating at my house...
AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A jobless alcoholic burned himself to death after his wife refused to serve him meat for dinner, Indian police said Sunday. Sixty-year-old Mithailal Ram Sanjivan doused his body with an inflammable liquid and set himself ablaze outside his one-room house in Ahmedabad, the main city of western Gujarat state.
Police said the victim, who had been without a job for years, and his wife, Geeta Sanjivan, 54, had a scuffle over the dinner menu.
The wife refused to cook meat as they could not afford it.
Irritated by this, Sanjivan locked her in the house before setting himself on fire outside.

Ouch, that had to hurt!
Only one question: Why is it called inflammable if it lights on fire. Isn't it flammable?
Of course, I don't think ol' Mithailal Ram Unpronouncable really cared about that at the time. He had other stuff on his mind!
:D
I caught that typo too, but I didn't want to be accused of changing someone else's story...lol I don't think the food was his problem, either...
At least he didn't set HER on fire. What a dunce!
If only he'd had a barbeque grill, he could have set THAT on fire and done something useful. Lamb anyone?
