And bah humbug to you, too.

Real trees are banned from the building. Not only are they considered a fire hazard, but proper disposal isn't really possible. HOWEVER, the owner also owns a tree farm. He supplied a tree for the lobby. He also supplied an illegal tree for the manager. I was not even asked if I wanted one. I would have actually enjoyed my very own little tree.

Huh. How many fires are actually caused by too much artwork on school walls? Bananas Flambe being carried to the table in a restaurant? Christmas trees?

I would have thought they were more likely to be caused by...oh...faulty wiring. Space heaters that aren't properly ventilated. Leaving the stove on. Are those going to be illegal too, unless there's a sprinkler system?

"Leaving the stove on. Are those going to be illegal too, unless there's a sprinkler system?"

Funny you should mention that. Last night as I was cooking dinner, I noticed a strange noise coming from my oven. I think it's on it's way out - it sounded like the clicking I associate with gas stoves...only it's not gas. Anyway, I was once again lamenting the lack of tree when this was going on and I thought, "I'll bet more fires start from faulty ovens than Christmas trees."

Yup.

How's the stove now? Clicking in electrical appliances is never good.
