"liar, liar, pants on fire"???

I had always thought this was just an expression, but apparently it really happened in the Trump campaign, to his campaign CEO Steve Bannon: http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/304586-trump-campaign-executives-pants-literally-caught-on-fire

From the story:

While working with other aides to concoct a script for Trump's teleprompter, Bannon realized that a hot TV light had caused his pants to began to burn.
"I think my pant leg is on fire," said Bannon, according to the New York Times.
