Toilet Paper Barbeque

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

In the afternoon of February 26th, 2007. I was returning to the schools photo room after taking a picture. On my way past the girls restroom, I noticed a smell similar to that of an incense. Shortly after returning to the photo room, the fire alarm starts blaring. We evacuated the premisis and waited 1 hour as fire trucks were blaring down the street. After leaving, i met up with my girlfriend, Paige, who told me her teacher wanted them to put their things away before evacuating. Although stupid and worthy of an honorable mention, the true winner is still unknown. all that is know is that a girl lit an incense and put it in a toilet paper roll to hide it. this is stupid, but unknown by this girl, the girls restroom has a chemical closet in it. This truely is wothy of a personal account.

While not the best write up I have read, it boggles the mind that someone would light incense and then put it in a paper roll to hide it. Thanks for the story, Jacob

True, this isn't the greatest write-up, but who cares! Toilet paper catches fire more easily than damn near any other kind of paper, and who but a compleat idiot would light something and then try and hide it in toilet paper? Certainly worth sharing! Thanks, Jacob!

Sounds to me like a panic response that ended in disaster . . . Thanks, Jacob

A bit stupid, yes. I'm more concerned about "Paige, who told me her teacher wanted them to put their things away before evacuating". Isn't evacuation supposed to happen asap????

As Chip said, it boggles the mind that somebody would put anything lit in a roll of paper. Thanks, Jacob.
