Have you ever?


Have you ever wondered what was inside a fire extinguisher?
Well the one in the trunk of the artist's car is...or should I say was... full of a lot of yellow powder.

There it was sitting in a laundry basket along side the other emergency supplies, (you know, a squished-up roll of paper towels, a quart of oil, a package of dried out baby wipes, an MRE, a flashlight with dead batteries, 11 plastic grocery bags, jumper cables, and a baseball) when the unexpected happened.

Did you know that if a fire extinguisher is sitting in just the right position, and somehow the safety latch was not in the correct place, and the car came to sudden stop at a traffic light causing the laundry basket to slide into the back of the rear seats, that it just might go off?

And did you know it makes a loud hissing noise?

And did you know that it puts out a great deal of a fine buttery yellow powder that covers everything?

And did you know that it takes $5.00 worth of quarters at the car-wash vacuum to get it all cleaned up?

I am glad I wasn't in the back of the car or they would be calling me......



wait for it..............
