Come on baby light my fire...

A misplaced candle is believed to have started a fire that caused about $100,000

An MFB spokesman said 18 firefighters
"were tied up for some time but disciplined and controlled
firefighting contained the blaze to one room on the second floor".

I'm sorry... but someone is having way too much fun with puns...

I can't find the link but last week there was a news article about a tightrope walker crossing the River Han in Korea. The headline was

Skywalker crosses Han solo.

You have to wonder whether that was written or said...and if siad, with a straight face?

Phil... that's very clever..

Indy - it was mentioned in the article as a quote - I had to read it a couple of times before I came to the conclusion that it was a deliberate pun... if it wasn't... that would make it even more delicious

You know that the guy who wrote up this article had to be laughing his ass off. It's like writing about someone who gets his penis cut off...you'd have to use the phrase petered out or something similar. How could you not?

Trouble - I know... I logged into my local papers website to check the weather, bleary eyed and half concentrating to discover this... made my day...
