Recently the police came to my garage for a fire we had during a burn ban. My uncle told me if you ever have a fire no matter how big always have a pot of water with a hot dog in it. So that is what I do.
The police told me to put the fire out and I was getting cited. I told them we are cooking. I offered them a hot dog. They called the station and after a while they came over and asked me to put it out when I was done. They left and never came back. My neighbor was furious. Now when ever the wind is blowing his way we light up with wet pine on top and cook a doggie.
