Single man about to make meatballs in a fry pan in kitchen – the location Oliver.

Time: 8 minutes before Fire Practice. Dispatch call – bonfire and fireworks at Fairview and Knippelberg. Alarm is sounded for all to hear.

Single man (no wife) leaves kitchen jumps in car rushes to fire scene.

Young people having fun, cold night, lots of snow, little threat of fire, no firemen, no trucks – jokes on me. But there is more.

Single man rushes home to smoke filled house, meatballs burnt on one side – house needs serious ventilation – get out fans.

New rule:  if want to play fireman – get wife.

(add peas and gravy – turn tv on – forget fireworks.)
