I know people who have lost their homes and all of their possessions to fire. Fortunately, this has never happened to me. I did nearly set my kitchen on fire a few weeks ago when I set a piece of paper towel on top of a candle. Stupid is as stupid does.
I hadn't realized how much of a bullet I had dodged until I read this article. Apparently, fire is big business in China. I wonder if there is an a la carte menu of favours? How much to ensure that they show up when my house catches fire? Enquiring minds want to know. Perhaps I would be lucky enough to get the one corrupt official who does not require sexual favours.

You know, its always women being offered these specicial services. What happened to equality? Not once, not the first time has a Chinese female firefighter offered me special treatment.
All I get is $2 shirt cleaning on a Tuesday.
