House On Fire (1/5/2010)

One of the house fire alarm sensors is located just outside of our upstairs bathrooms.

A while ago as I was taking a shower. I took my usual good time. Heat and steam from the shower must have set-off the fire alarm but I didn’t hear it.

I finished the shower. Got dress. Walk out of the bathroom. I see a fireman in the hallway.

Yo Dude, what’s going on, I say. The fireman said, someone called to report a possible fire here.

Hummmmm.

I go outside. W, is standing on the sidewalk -- my life insurance policy in her hand.

W, why didn’t you tell me that the fire alarm was going-off?

I did, hun. I whispered, Joe, get outside we may have a fire.

You whispered?

Yes, hun. Then I grabbed your Life Insurance Policy and went outside to wait for the fire department folks to arrive.

W, the bathroom door was not locked. Why didn’t you just open the door and warn me? If it were a real fire, I could have died.

Well yeah, silly, that’s why I needed your life insurance policy.

GAWDDDDDDDDD!

If any of Y’all know of a bodyguard that I can hire, lemmi know.
