pocketbikes and gasoline

Pocketbike makes it trip to Costa Rica and head mechanic Ko starts putting it together and making adjustments.
He also mixes up some 2-stroke gas-mixture of gas and oil, and puts it in a COKE bottle.
It looks exactly like Red Fanta Colita and unsuspecting Tanner-drinks a big swallow.














After a few panicked minutes of looking up accidently swallowing gasoline online and then calling Poison Control from the US line-we give Tanner a big glass of milk.
He is told that he will have gas coming out both ends for several days.
Tanner can't stand the taste of the burps and gets the shop vac to suck the odor out.
He can breathe and the smell of gas odors is sickening from ten feet away for several days. Of course we avoid a trip to the Emergency Room but Poison Control calls back to see how he's doing.

They advise not keeping gas in a bottle with a coke label. Ko draws a picture of Tanner drinking and then Salome adds a poison sign.
Brothers!
