This gives a whole new meaning to "Is there a fire in your pants or are you just glad to see me?"
A Hamilton man Tasered by police is in hospital after the stun gun ignited a "flammable object" in his pants, burning him.
The incident is under review by Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which probes all police-related deaths and serious injuries. According to the SIU, police were called to a Queenston Road apartment in Hamilton's east end around 9 p.m. Thursday.

The "shocking" things people keep in their pants, I feel maybe it's an idea for a story.

We could call it the "zipless story." (A nod to Erica Jong and Fear of Flying.)

I guess we'll have to re-examine the rich Canadian tradition of carrying flammable objects in our pockets.
