- I’ve let the fire get out of control?
- It’s Obama’s fault.
Psychiatrist:
- Pull safety ring from trigger
- The ring is a metaphor for your sexual attraction to fire

Sportscaster
- He pulls the safety ring from the trigger
- And steps back to spray the flames
- I’d like to point out that he’s five out of ten for all types of home fires but is at eighty percent for electrical fires
- And, that fire is OUT!
- But, there’s a flag on the play. Off-sides… so the referee is relighting his bathroom curtains and there’s a ten yard penalty.

- Now the fire is out and your fingerprints are all over it

This is brilliant. Let me add one.
Red Squirrel Mother –
1. Enlist rodent army to lift extinguisher into place.
2. Smash into blogger’s window like the rats at the Capitol did.
3. Take over residence, build nests and propagate.
4. Leave extinguisher on floor for owner to trip over.

he pulls out the safety ring/
from the trigger/
but there is no safety/
there is never any safety/
he sprays the flames/
but they come back/
they always come back/
these flames of hell/
and how can he/
put the fire out/
when he is the fire?
