Now, how could matches get moldy inside boxes inside a cello wrapper? They don't light, either, by the way. The cello pack was stored inside a drawer of a storage cart with other household stuff -- light bulbs, filters, etc. All in a closet.
The part about buying the matches four months ago is one of those routine DUmp lies.
No one, least of all grasswire Judy, has any idea how old these matches (if they exist) are.
Remember, poor, addled grasswire bunks in an old abandoned bodega in Oak Grove, Oregon.
It wasn't totally vandalized before she tottered in with her little red wagon.
We know that, because she's bragged about having her own toilet, and vandals would certainly have taken the copper plumbing.
So, it's reasonable to expect that odds and ends of no worth may have been left behind by previous occupants.
That would include trivial junk like a box of matches.
And that would be the inspiration for a DUmp thread.
