I guess you're right but if it made perfect sense, it wouldn't have been as interesting. Besides, I was trying to think of something that TV safety department encourages us to do.

Our house was hit by lightning last summer, the dectector went off. As it was 8 PM or so we were awake, BUT unaware of the smoke pouring from our attic over the garage. When w e heard it we knew something was wrong, exited the house, called fire department.
That's a good story. I'm glad you all got out safely. That's a good reason for having a smoke detector. With that story, I'll be very likely to shop for some new batteries soon.

.......eat all the rich artery clogging food you want and don't wear a seat belt either. Good luck to you.
You have the wrong idea on those two because I don't eat processed foods and I do use my seat belt.
