He should get a job at Hogwards.

I dread the times I must relight the pilot on my water heater.1. Lie face-down on the floor.2. Remove cover over burner.3. With one hand, press and hold pilot button on gas valve.4. With other hand, light pilot flame located way in the back of the heater, using a L-O-N-G match.5. If successful, lie in position for at least 1 minute before releasing button in Step 3.6. If pilot fails to light, wait 5 minutes and try again.This 6th step totally depends on your patience, and your willingness to sacrifice your eyebrows.

Oye well Done Flyer Tom. That DO tend to keep those eyebrows short. Still I’m sure Blanche appreciates The Domestication of the Wiz (NOT that unsimilar to the Desolation of Smaug?) and the result of a different KIND of Ring Series. LOL

Makes me really appreciate the heat pump.

The artist is obviously too young to remember that the coal or wood burning furnace, that he has drawn, does not have a pilot light.

Incendio is a Harry Potter spell.

The house I grew up in had a furnace in the basement that looked exactly like that. We called it “the octopus”. ☺

“Pilotus Lightus! Abracadabra! Alakazam, Alakazot! A la Peanut Butter Sandwiches! Shish-ka-bob, SHAZAM!!!“Rats! #?!$%&!! I guess I’m just gonna have to do it by hand, like everyone else does!”Aw, poor ego! (LOL!)

i guess we all have issues…

Sorry about my spelling. I was typing very fast.
