Fire Extinguisher

Fire Extinguishers? Fires only really happen to people on TV right?


Well…picture this. You wake up one winter morning excited about your favorite football team and their upcoming playoff game. So excited that you decide to throw a little shindig. Your friend/neighbor is invited and he decides he'll contribute to the feast with some homemade deep fried chicken wings. Knowing this friend, you realize that he's probably limited in his cooking skills. You've smelled the microwaved eggs and george foreman grilled meats and you know nothing worth eating can come of this. But still, it's the playoffs, bad wings can't ruin that, right?

WRONG. This friend of yours decides to heat up the oil for his wings, in a way too small pot filled with way too much oil. And because this friend doesn't believe in fires he decides to shower while the oil heats up in the kitchen. Moments later you hear the fire alarm. Seconds after that, you see this neighbor, wrapped up in a hand towel, run in and ask if you have a fire extinguisher. But you don’t, because you're too cool for grease fires remember. So buy one. That way you get to watch the big game. Also, as an added bonus, you get a discount on your homeowners insurance policy.
