    Not Being On Fire

    I dunno about you guys, but I sure enjoy not being on fire. At any given time, there are at least 4,000 people in the world that prefer to not be on fire. Those are pretty good numbers in my book.


    Lets take a moment to move away from our daily drama and hear some stories from people that have actually been on fire. How/why did it happen? What can you suggest other people do to avoid the same fate?

    I would answer this.. But I have to put out the goldfish. It is on fire.

    I've accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next crap could spell disaster.

    Well I must be one of the 4,000 then. I can definitely tell you I would really not like to be in an SUV. Those things roll and get blowd up. Fire just ain't me. Must be a Libby thing.

    I ain't never been on fire. I got blowed up once but I got better.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Does pouring a shot of Everclear on a fire helmet that is currently strapped to your head and igniting it count?
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Stop, drop and roll, preferably with a blanket or a rug?

    Those invisible racing fuel fires are scary... seen a driver writhing from it once.
