Booze, bonfire and burns – try saying that three times fast.

Better yet, don’t. Instead, let’s all laugh at the two Dartmouth students who somehow managed to burn themselves early Saturday morning on the extinguished remains of the Homecoming bonfire.

According to The Dartmouth, one of the two students fell into the embers and burned his hands when he attempted to get up. Unsurprisingly, he was intoxicated at the time. The other one sustained his injuries after accepting a dare from friends to walk across the coals.

Seriously – these are Ivy League students?! Oh wait, it’s Dartmouth.

Still, every cloud has its silver lining:

No freshmen were arrested during the bonfire for trying to “touch the fire.” Last year two attempts led to arrests for disorderly conduct.

Only six students were arrested this year during the bonfire, down from 11 last year.

“Six arrests made at the bonfire is extremely low,” Giaccone said. “It was lower than it has been for the last several years.”

At least the Class of 2012 knows better than to try and play with fire. That’s got to count for something, right?
