Fire extinguishers? Hmm, dunno if I saw that one. Would someone kindly provide a link? I’d do a search, but our ISP is being all funky and slow today. ---

The fire extinguisher is mentioned in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194351). Can I trade it for the Jehovah’s Witnesses? Still looking for that one. ---

Guys, we need a compendium of Wang-Ka stories. I’m not adroit enough at searching (plus, we have dial-up, not a DSL) so can someone put them together? ---

At the store yesterday I picked up a watermelon, and right there in the middle of Sam’s daughter **whiterabbit** had hysterics. Thank you, **Wang-Ka** , for making me the center of misplaced attention. 😃 ---

And thank _you,_ Mama T, for sharing it with us.🙂 There are two fire extinguisher stories; the one the link leads to is the time my friend’s car burst into flames when he was driving into Houston. The other story is the kitchen fire story. It, and several others, can be found in the [culinary disaster thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151037&highlight=gorilla) ---

In fact, now that I reread that thread, there were THREE fire stories… although the one with the turkey didn’t involve an extinguisher… ---
