We didn't start the fire

Okay, well, someone here did. Apparently they loaded the washer too much, and it spun out of balance, which caused the motor to burn out, which caused the fire alarm to go off. Forty minutes later we were allowed back in the building by the fire department.

All for a clean pair of chonies. I'm sure the guys in the two fire trucks, ambulance, and incident command vehicle were thrilled.
