Well, that's because
-
the mole poison wasn't in his trunk, it was in Burt.
-
Wait-- he ingested mole poison?
-
That would kill him.
-
I checked Burt's FriendAgenda page.
-
He and Sandy Larken had a volatile relationship.
-
And the day that Sandy broke up with him,
-
he posted a virtual suicide note.
-
- Swallowing mole poison? - Yeah.
-
And his stomach enzymes-- like the potassium bicarbonate--
-
reacted with the poison to create the phosphine gas.
-
So Burt didn't swallow fire, he belched it.
