I'd heard Linens'n'Things was having a fire sale....

[Larry Craig]

Yes, life's been kinda dull since I left the Senate.

Smokey says: "Don't put that laundry away yet!"

Just throw it in this handy plastic basket and leave it sitting on the floor for a week or two. It's a safety thing.

What's so funny about teat owels? Are they endangered?

[Mike]

I used to use tea towels all the time to start fires when I went camping.

Don't forget the Downy!

[Punkin]

pogo - FORGET the Downy - we want to give those government puppets horrendous static cling!!

(Yes, we BAD!)

[CJrun]

I, like m'ville, misread that.

[Mot the Hoople]

Australia is such a nanny society I wouldn't be surprised if you'd need to get a tea towel license

[pogo]

Right, Fearless Leader Punkin!

We Bad! We Bad!

Call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer Molotov cocktails. They just pack more of a punch.

Ah Vyacheslav, you were a horrible, horrible, disgusting, murderous person, but you had great taste in drinks.

I love watching piles of bark dust ignite -- sort of the same principle. My buddy who had a machine shop had a lot of religion about used oil rags only going in fire safe disposal areas.

He was getting older, but he moved very quickly one time when I pointed to one of the cans and said "Mind if I smoke?" as ignition was just starting. I discovered that fire extinguishers are kind of heavy.

When they make possession of smouldering tea towels criminal, only criminals will have smouldering tea towels.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Same with hay. Bale it while it's still damp and it will rot, eventually creating enough heat to flambe your barn.

Is our bloggers learnin'?

[SW]

"MFS spokesman Greg Staple said 40 fire fighters took about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control."

If it takes 40 firefighters 30 minutes to bring 1 teatowel fire under control, how many skunks does it take to scare 1 wimpy mailman with 100 pieces of undelivered mail to knock off 2 hours early?

Teatowels
Teatowels who need
Teatowels...

[Danny]

Allah have to decline that offer. Sorry.

[whiteschnauzer]

Muhammed - are you SERIOUS? Woof?

Ick.
And snork @ SW for 'teatowels who need teatowels.' That's hot.

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

Not surprised. I used to live in an apartment complex where the communal driers heated way too much. Actually had some sheets start smoldering when I left them in the laundry basket afterwards.

[Siouxie]

Didn't that happen to Michael Jackson once?? Course I don't think tea towels were involved, possibly silicone. Or lightning.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Sioux - it was sparks from the sequins on his glove setting his hairspray on fire. That's why he only wore one - the other one went up in flames. That would also explain his lack of body hair in other places.

[Boy George]

See what happens when you stack them instead of tea-bagging them?

[Betsy]

Your Honor, I move that Annie's statement be stricken from the record as hearsay...or does she claim firsthand knowledge???

Margaritaville,

I too was imagininge whole flocks of hooters with hooters, burning, looting and pillaging.

[queensbee]
