Fire extinguishers made of gold

Today we had a trio visit our school to talk abt fire extinguishing. Apparently there are four kinds of fire and four kinds of fire extinguishers one for fires of A and B (which is not so famous), another for fires A, B and C, another for fires class D. She likened the 4 types of fire to a woman's bra size. She said it's similar. A for small fires (fires caused by paper, cloth etc), B for not so small fires, C for big fires (caused by electrical appliances) and D for enormous fires (ones that usually happens in the factories).

As i said earlier on there are 4 kinds of fire extinguishers. The first contains some kind of foam. It can put of A ,B and C fire therefore it is the most popular. Moreover it is cheap. Cost about 150 ringgit per tank. But once you spray this thing u lose whatever you spray it on (the foam stays on and NEVER comes off) and also stand a chance of scalding you skin or even going blind. The next one is Carbon Dioxide gas. This is as we know toxic if inhaled at its concentration, has to be sprayed following the wind direction and cannot be sprayed upwards. You would have to stay away from your house or office for more than 3 hours and only come in when the gas evaporates completely. The thrid one has the same reaction plus, all these three types of extinguishers only lasts to a max of 1 year WHETHER OR NOT U USE IT! bet u didn't know that. Once u use it cannot use anymore...even if u have 3/4 tank left.

So she then showed us the ultimates of ultimates... The $*&chemical name-too-long^!$%$ Extinguisher!!! It comes in a beautiful colour -GOLD! You can spray in whichever direction, use as many times as u want as long as the gas is still there, and lasts your WHOLE LIFE and you whole GREAT GRAND CHILD'S LIFE...really..the warranty is that long. Plus u can inhale this gas as much as u want. It smells of lemon after you spray! But i think it's too expensive for a aromatherapy la. It and costs RM790. For teachers, you get a rebate of RM 400! for today only.. wow ... and offer made hard to refuse. But i didn't buy.. hehe
