When your waters on fire, its time to stay at your relatives house.

Maybe I'm the nut, but it seems like something that someone ought to fix immediately and not be having meeting scheduled to discuss. :tongue:

On the other hand, it might save a fortune on water heating costs. :p

I used to set water on fire when I went on holidays. It's easy enough in certain places. Lots of sulphur in the water, see.

I wonder what her home insurance payments are like?

Put in her position, I think that I would rent a storage unit, move everything I owned to that, rent a motel, then light a lot of candles in the bathroom with the shower running, then if they tried to give me trouble when I went to claim the insurance, say something to the effect of "I told you people my water could catch on fire. Nothing was done to solve this. What did you expect?"

You know it would be shitty if her house caught fire. The fire Department hooks into a hydrant near her house thinking they are putting out the fire. Wouldn't they be in for a surprise.

Flammable water, right out of the tap? Time to fill up some water balloons, I think.

And if you can get a priest to bless it, you have the ultimate Evil-burning Water.

Surely actually drinking the stuff won't be good for you?

I'm guessing the house's water table sets on top of a natural methane deposit.

Still, it kind of puts a new spin on "Come Hell, or high water."

Think of the possibilities, like cookouts and roasting marshmallows huddled around the back yard garden hose.

Indeed.

I do not think that would be advisable.
