As one who watched the first “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires” ads in the ‘50s, I submit that it is “Smokey THE Bear”!! The commercial sang: "Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear..prowlin’ and a’growlin’ and a’sniffin’ the air; He can smell a fire before it starts to flame… that’s why they call him Smokey, that is how he got his name."
True story.. I have a female friend who, no matter what she cooks, will set the smoke alarm off. It has become a running joke. It never happens to me when I’m in the kitchen.I have my theory but I remain silent.
Funniest comments I’ve seen in a loooong time! Seems quite a few people have had a Roz’s cooking experience! What would he draw if a pressure cooker exploded? Happened to my aunt. She ran right through a locked screen door it scared her so much!

I told my Mom once that just because I was a “carbon based” life form, that didn’t mean I wanted to EAT the stuff.
Went to bed hungry that night.

That’s Smokey Bear. NOT Smokey THE Bear.

Smokey The Bear is like saying Mickey The Mouse. Only Pete would say that.

Or perhaps this age of historical enlightenment and political correctness we should also rename “Attila Hun” and “Jack Ripper”.

Maybe Kit taught her how to cook-you know, Carlyle’s owner.

Definitely not! She’d be a good cook if she’d learnt at afirehouse!
