Was she inspired by the Olympics and trying for a Darwin award?  :-)

If she tries to clean it outside, I wonder if she will turn the engine off first.

I TOTALLY buy the part where she says she set fire to a curtain to signal that she was being abused!

I once had to set fire to a bathroom to signal that I had run out of toilet paper.

Okay... It was three days after I had run out of toilet paper and I had to set the office building AROUND the bathroom on fire to send the signal. Come to think of it, it wasn't even the same place where I got stranded without TP...

Shoulda seen that sucker burn though!!!!!  Way cool!

Sounds like the lady in CA about 10 years ago who decided it would be more "environmentally friendly" to burn her toilet paper versus simply burying it.

25,000 acres later, she figured out it was probably better off just to bury it.
