Man burns chop - fire alarm doesn't go off


GUARDIAN - Shockwaves have been felt around the globe as a result of a man cooking a chop in his Hither Green flat that did not set off the fire alarm in his unit.
"I was stunned," said Peter Caldwell, 18, from Hither Green, "normally it goes off the second I set foot in the kitchen. But this time no. What's the world coming to?"

Fire alarms have become a part of everyday life in the western world, being installed and maintained by respective fire departments. They have contributed to saving lives otherwise killed by fire and ending lives that would have been saved if people hadn't been on the verge of murder due to the irritation caused by fire alarms that go off when you are trying to prepare a salad (pictured).

Fire alarm groups have been quick to point out that it isn't the fault of the fire alarm and that maybe the makers of the batteries should be blamed... I mean, questioned.

Others blame Big Brother, for no apparent reason other than the fact that the show really pisses them off.

Still others blame Peter Caldwell, because any 18 year old that looks like him has got other issues they should start dealing with.
