I actually use to live in Beserkeley. I think Centaur (post #122) had a good idea. There should be a way to market to these people. Instead of asbestos maybe polyester. Ouch. After it melted they would never have to worry about not wearing something on their heads.

Speaking of which, are any marshmellows including the food packages we're dropping?

No. But there are graham crackers and chocolate.
He'd be the human smore.

"After it melted they would never have to worry about not wearing something on their heads."

Hell's Bells...*I* sense an opportunity here to apply some good, ol' fashioned American ingenuity.

What say we engineer every-other fiber of the polyester weave with something a tad *more* creative?
Say...a strand of something from the "family" of HE materials, for example.

Then?
The *primary* focus quickly escalates to...what head(s)? {g}

It's evil and wrong to laugh at human suffering. I know this. I will not laugh. I will not. I-

Oh, the hell I won't-BWAHAHAHA!!

Whatta maroon! You don't light a flag or anything else on fire when there's a breeze.

Hey!!! Isn't that guy the same guy that was on top of the WTC in that picture with the plane coming behind him? Sure looks like him, LOL

This presents one of those philosophical dilemma type questions.
You have a full bladder. Abdullahs hair catches on fire.
Do you hold it or relieve yourself?
It's a toughie. Both courses of action have their appeal.

[StarFan]

LOL - You are in peak form today!!!

One incorrect American Flag: Had kids make it

One can of gas and a lighter: Stole it

Polyester shirt: Stole that too!!

Getting a picture of you burning yourself up in front of your country men posted all over America:

PRICELESS!!!
