if there were a snake in the basement, would it be hissing because Roger turned off its heat supply?

Hey Roger, ever seen “The Big Bang Theory”?

We know he will survive, but right now it seems unlikely.

Time to move to a new house….

Should have taken notes when the heating guy told you what to do.

Of Course leaking gas couldn’t possibly have any thing to do with the hissing noise, now could it!

Boom?

All he needs now is a little spark of inspiration.

Time for the fireworks, kids!

Doesn’t anyone (besides me) get tired of seeing Dad do such idiotic things? Just how stupid is he?

Okay, kids. We’re about to learn what happens if you try to save a little cash by doing it yourself!

BOOM!

You know, of course, that this was written before YouTube could give you instructions on everything from lighting a pilot light to giving birth. (Not sure about making a miniature thermonuclear device, however, but I think Roger is about to do just that.)

Mom always had to get something from the store when dad was lighting the furnace.

He should just get Jason to help him

Off means no gas!

Ready the P38 space modulator … There is about to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!

Rather daft instructions on that switch.. would make no sense to anyone.

No snakes, only fools!

BANG!!

He just turned off the safety setting.

I think Roger wants to go out with a bang.
