But if you don't clean the lint trap then you did start the fire.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

Unfortunately, we put your coat in the dryer, and it was lost in the fire we didn't start. 108.162.238.17 17:05, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


This explains why my dryer keeps bursting into flames. And why no insurance agencies will even consider letting me get homeowner's.While most people have mass on Saturday, I have mine relative to my inertia (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Minor objection with the comic, but in my experience, it's easier to grow up without knowing about taxes than stop, drop and roll. My 5 year old has learned stop, drop and roll in kindergarten, but nothing about taxes. I have a similar recollection of my childhood. It wasn't until my first job as a teenager that I paid any attention to it. 162.158.214.94 17:12, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


"Most residents of most countries are legally obligated to pay, or at least file, their taxes annually"

This note is quite US centric, as I don't believe this is true of most countries. At the very least, this is certainly not the case in most of Europe - taxes are not filed manually if you're a standard employee and not the owner of your own business, in which case it would be perfectly possible to grow up without ever learning how to do this. 162.158.38.64 17:18, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
