For your consideration.

If you wake up late, its generally a helpful rule of thumb to call work and tell them you're running a bit behind. Thus there's no need to rush to the point of mistakenly starting a fire in your home. Of course that presupposes that you handle your employment in a professional manner which, if one oversleeps, puts it a bit in doubt in the first place.

This young professional’s tire is flat, he’s late for work, and now his house is on fire.

I'm not real sure where this is going, but I'll play along.

Which should he take care of first?

The house, or actually make sure everybody is out of the house if possible. Its preferable to replace a house and/or get a new job than to have to replace a family.

I'll bite, even though I know I'll lose *l*. He should take care of the flat to flee the fire and shave while he drives?

You might be on the right avenue. Try again.

He should hire an illegal mexican to put the fire out while he changes the tire and makes it to work on time.

(I'm assuming the smoke is coming from the water he left to boil for the coffee.)

He calls 9/11, let's the firemen put out the fire, and tells a cop that shows up he needs a ride to work, so the cop turns on his siren and gets him there in time, LOL.

Yo, RDB3...No offense but your 1973 picture sure looks like you might be related to Al Sharpton.

Great home page!

Or better yet, he should have voted for a Democrat. Then he wouldn't need a 'job', because he would be on welfare. He wouldn't need a house, he could live in the projects. And he certainly wouldn't need to shave.

He should grab his golf clubs, call up a couple buddies, and go hit the links.

Haste makes waste - there's nothing new under the sun. The old parables stand the test of time.

I've never been accused of being logical *s*.

He has to run back in and turn off the shower?

I'll refine my answer then. I would first get the wife/kids out of the house then check the source of the smoke and decision-tree my response from there.

I've been burned out of one house. Flat tires can be repaired, houses can be rebuilt, and you can get a new job. But getting kinfolk out of a dangerous situation (the *possibly* burning house) is and will always be Job Number One for me.

Take a cab to work, illegally claim it is a work related expense, hire an illegal alien to change his tire. Let the house burn, the government will replace it and it's not his fault anyway. He's a good socialist democrat.

Get some coffee. Take a deep breath and try not to take himself to seriously.

Now don't you have a flat tire. You're headed in the right direction.
