So, got a shipment of some 100+ hour liquid paraffin emergency candles. Of course I had to make sure they worked! Pulled the top off of one, lit it, realized it needed more wick, figured out how to...blah, blah, blah, blah.
Then I delivered remaining candles to friends who had ordered along with me. Stopped at friend Shirley's and started to share "things I had learned" with her. The conversation, in part, went:
Me. "Remember it's 'liquid' paraffin. Don't tip it without the cap on!
And always put the cap back on after you use it, also uh, make sure not to touch the metal part until it's cool..."
Shirley (busts out laughing), "This is where I don't ask how you know that, right?"
Pause. "Right."
