She threw a large round log on the rack, lit the gas, and then wondered why the fire went out after she turned off the gas a minute later. Arrrgggghhh!

Way back many years ago, I was invited to the set of the movie "deliverance" by a friend who was a technical consultant. At the end of the day we were invited to Jon Voight's cabin for a drink. He had some hot babe there and proceeded to strut about like a mountain man perhaps for our benefit as much as anything. He went to light a fire in the fireplace....several large wet logs. Stuffed half a sheet of newspaper under them, lit with match and stood back.

He was so perplexed it did not erupt in a roaring flame. What a doofus. We left. Hot babe didn't. Oh well.
