Topic: Men!

So a little while ago at work, there was a fire in the opposite end of the building.  I was working away when the alarms went off.  I stuck my handy pair of ear plugs in and kept working til I knew it wasn't just an alarm malfunction or a test.  Then I grabbed my Blackberry and went outside with everybody else. 

As the firetrucks pulled up, I called Mr. Ingy to tell him what was happening.  His very first response was not to ask, ''Are you okay?''  It was,  ''You didn't start it, did you?''  No, Billy Joel, I did not start the fire.

as a man, i think i'm going to side with Mr. Ingy and declare that the phone call might potentially have been the action of a guilty person...a guilty female person, that is.

very funny story!

ingy, now that is FUNNY!!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

I am STILL laughing..lol...lol...lol.

I just got into the office or else I would have responded sooner, but thank you for making me LAUGH HARD as soon as I got here!!!

LOLLLLLLLLL ---- STILL LAUGHING!!! LMAOOOOOOOO  GOOD ONE Mr. Ingy!!!

Thanks for the laugh!  Reminds me when we used to be able to smoke at our desks - years ago one of my friends dumped her ashtray into her wastebasket and it started on fire.  Like the savior I thought I was (LOL) I stomped on it with my heel (with foot still in it!).  Well, not only did I not put the fire out but my pantyhose were destroyed!  There were ''runs'' up and down my leg!  Not a pretty sight.  Guess I was not meant to be anywhere near a disaster!  Unfortunately our boss (Mr. Crabbypants) was walking by and put the fire out.  That would have been about 40 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday!

Well, there was an, um, episode but I was only 7 years old... ~i&b

OK, the truth comes out. Something we didn't know about our dear Ingy...she's a pyromaniac. LOL Tell us the story of the 'episode'. Elaine

A neighborhood girl who was a few years older than me taught me how to light matches. I was standing alone in a woods near my house and lit the matches. When they flared up, I dropped them and they lit some dried leaves on fire. The flames were a few feet high. I was standing there not knowing what to do when I heard a buzzing sound. I looked up in time to see my older brother whizzing by on a little motorcycle he always rode around. He saw the flames, jumped off the bike (which kept going without him for a short distance), and raced over. He took off his windbreaker, used it to beat the flames out, then without a word hopped back on his bike and took off. I was scared to go home because I knew he was going to rat me out. So I camped out at a neighbor's house all day. Mother phoned looking for me and I made the ''death march'' home. My parents said nothing about it all through dinner, which only made me more paranoid that they were going to wait til bedtime to kill me. Then bedtime came, still no word, and I just knew they were waiting til morning to kill me. This went on for a few days until I realized that rather than my parents toying with me, my brother simply hadn't told them. Big lesson learned since I think I punished myself more than they could have punished me. ~i&b

that is EXACTLY what my husband would ask.  Not just about fire, but if there was any trouble whatsoever.  He will always ask first if I caused it.  I'm not sure I'm liking that!  LOL
