    Earlier on this evening I smelled something burning and rushed into the kitchen to find Mrs shiney just putting out a burnt down match that she had lit. I asked her why she had lit it and she said "to see whether it works."


    After I had got up from rolling around on the floor laughing she explained why she had done it. On Tuesday she has a job to do where she will need to use some matches and she wasn't sure whether the old book of matches that she had would still work.

    Simple answer isn't it [​IMG] :D

    Shiney,I don't blame Mrs Shiney for trying out the matches.It would be a waste of time taking a damp box of matches with her and then feeling an idiot because they didn't work.It would be like me trekking all the way over to our allotment to light a bonfire and then finding out that the matches were no good.Sounds quiet logical to me [​IMG] :D

    Kandy, it was logical and I don't think that I would have thought about doing it [​IMG] [​IMG] but it sounded very funny at the time :D

    That is not an oxymoron at all. An oxymoron is 'Microsoft Works'. :D
