Kind of funny.

1. Why is that funny? People smoke, fires happen, not related, not funny.

[Renew Deal]

3. Yes, but people smoking in front of fires is a little extra funny

;)

5. I guess I lack humor today, because I don't.

I smoke around fires whenever I camp or have a backyard gathering around the fire pit. They just don't seem related to me, I guess unless it was a fire started by a cig, but it read as being an oil fire, right?

6. Yes, it was an oil fire.

Now, if it was a forest fire it would have been a laugh riot. But you are not obligated to agree. :)

8. Yeah, that would be an f'ing crime, wrong kind of funny. Around here there are

times when there is no smoking allowed in the wilderness, no fires, not even propane stoves when the weather is dry and hot.

But you're right if it had been a house fire (often started by smokers) or a wildfire (often started by smokers) it would be disgracefully funny.

7. He's smoking outside, that's what he's supposed to do, right?

Just make sure that cigarette butt is out.
Stupid habit though, been smoke free myself for over a decade.

9. he dropped the butt on camera. i didn't see him wiggling as he stomped out the cig. eom

10. that's the fault of who ever put that shot on air, probably the AD

It's not like the guys in the booth can't see the feed from that camera BEFORE we do.
