That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 09, 2016

Parisian firemen’s training class.

He had a short fuse.

Dinner is burned, the party is ruined!

Title: Waste not!

In other words, Mr Hillingford’s two-year-old squeezed out all of the red paint

Strongly reminded of the end of the original “Pink Panther” movie (1963).

Worst fart ever!

the 1814 version of “Is Paris Burning”- Emperor’s Cut

Musician (in the foreground) to his friend:

" Look at that !

All those guys get to carry the pretty women out of here, and I’m stuck schlepping this damned cello ! "

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s blog entry for yesterday (December 8, 2016), accessible by the Check Out The Blog! box in the right hand column; so, I won’t point to it here.

Burnin’ down the house.

Sorry everyone, but dinner is burned.

“I told the cooks not to make any more flambe desserts, but do they ever listen? Noooooo.”

How can we sleep when our beds are burning?

“She’s the only virgin I could find, Sir – where would you like me to put ’er?”

“It’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight!”

Fire Sale. Everything Must Go!

What´s cooking?.. Everything, The kitchen is on fire.
