Its time to ban the
camp fire. They are very dangerous people get burnt all the time, they get hot you know They have also caused numerous bushfires. They do not come with any safety warnings and you are expected to use common sense when having one, and we all know common sense is not common.
Here is a
pic of my Kookaburra Cooker. The red bit is the printed warnings that come with it and the black parts is printed on the cooker itself.
Five year old Kookaburra Cooker warnings
As you can see the warnings are now where big enough and there are no flashing red lights and warning sirens for the person who cannot read and/or has no brains. This is simply not good enough and thank goodness the authorities have taken steps and banned the further sale of these killer machines.
But have they gone far enough? I have used my cooker on over 500 occasions now without incident, its an absolute wonder I am not dead. Why are not all these death traps being recalled? At least I am comforted by the fact that the Government is concerned about my welfare and that when my cooker blows up in my face they will look after me.
Now I know that most of you are horrified at the thought of the campfire being banned. But you must think of your fellow man who is not endowed with the same amount brains and common sense as you.
It has been shown that we cannot handle a little cooker so how can we be expected to handle a campfire where they flames can be metres high and much hotter.
Now knowing government (I have been around a long time so I know) they will find a solution and I reckon I can guess what it will be. What they will do is you will have to obtain a licence to have a
camp fire. This will require a 5 day course and cost you a s...load of money. Having done the course (everyone passes) you pay another s...load of money and provided you are not a criminal, arsonist, sex offender, deviate, terrorist, etc you will get a piece of plastic that permits you to have a campfire under certain conditions.
These conditions will be spelt out in the fine print, but for the
grey nomads among us, our aging eyes will not be able to read them, but that is not a problem we will use our commonsense.
So everyone shout from the roof top BAN THE CAMPFIRE.
