That is exactly why most carry out food options are safer than cooking at home.

Unless, of course, one lives in the greater Miami region in which case the risk is pretty much a crapshoot.

Was anyone else picturing Granny Clampet while reading that story?

I got a shot from my liquor cabinet yesterday . . .

[Cat R]

I shot the chef
But I did not shoot the deputy.

[The Stove]

forgot to sign that one

[Allen at Division]

I call for stricter laws on stove control!...

And yes, I pictured Granny Clampett.

[Guin]

I pictured Sarah Palin....

[ubetcha]

I pictured her biting a bullet while she dug the errant one out of her leg after dowsing it with whiskey. Yee haw!

[Siouxie]

I pictured Jack Bauer.

What's black and blue and lead all over?

A newspaper!

[Allen at Division]

Good one, CJ! And when you set type, you specify "leading"... *getting back on the bus for old editors*

Reminds me of a story I read years ago: Two guys were out hunting, and as evening approached, they headed back to the truck. The engine wouldn't start, and they figured out there was a blown fuse. Being miles from anywhere to get a replacement fuse, they figured out that a .22 cartridge fit right in place of the fuse. They got a couple of miles down the road before the heat of the electrical current set off the powder and shot this idjit moron gentleman in the testicles. Key Quote from the story (paraphrased): "Yeah, we were having a great time 'til (name withheld for obvious reasons) shot himself in the nuts."

I swear I thought it said, "she stroked the stove".

(In which case, what did she expect?"

[eilbeback]

SNORK at every last o' ya! I myself am saving this excuse for the next time I want to go OUT to dinner instead of cooking.

[Margaritaville]

Somehow her husband is responsible for that.

[WayneHere]

Cool. Third posting this year (but if their's no 3, there's no third). Usually, the fireworks happen after my chile.

I'd like to see a 22 gauge shotgun shell.

[frodolives]

I'm with Pogo. I think they meant ".22 bore," which is, in fact, in production. People likewise frequently say, ".410 guage," but rather than measuring how many same-diameter pellets it takes to make a pound ("gauge"), "bore" refers to the interior diameter of the barrel (in inches).

This has been your shotgun lesson for this evening.

[frodolives]

or, some people even say ".410 gAUge"

[frodolives]

I'm going to go read for a while, then head to bed, so niter's all. SILENCE!!! I kill you!

[Cheston]

Guns don't kill people; cooking kills people.
