Ah, the W word. I'll be getting back to that tomorrow morning. I got set on fire by a boss once, when I was much younger. That was after I lost my temper and shouted a bunch of obscenities at him in front of the other Workers. After that I discovered the Q word (Quit), which is usually a good way to escape and avoid being set on fire, but some bosses are so mean they'll set you on fire while you're trying to escape.
The good news is that as you get older, you become immune to the effects of fire. I'm not sure why, maybe your skin becomes so tough and leathery that it just doesn't bother you anymore.
