Hn. My smoke alarm keeps going off. Very irritating.

Stop setting the house on fire.

There's no fire! Probably. There isn't any smoke, either! I don't think.

You took my answer!

You all lack faith.

But at least we have fire extinguishers!

I think some might be in this house somewhere!

In your not setting the house on fire?

Yes. In that.

But it seems like such a likely thing...

Dude, the fire department's only been called on me once.

Have I heard this story? Do I want to?

When I was five after I'd taken my bath and my mom left me in the bathroom alone I decided to see if some tweezers would fit in an electrical socket. Have you heard this story?

I don't think so. Unless this was also the time when your house actually caught fire.

Fuck, I lol'd.

Hit it with something!

I'm tempted to take the batteries out!

Do it!

You aren't supposed to, though. Something about forgetting to put them back in later and then dying when the house burns down and you had no warning.

Or alternatively, the beeping could drive you mad until you stove your own head in. It's a lose-lose situation, really.

And if it keeps going off for no reason, then how will you know if there's a real fire or not?

Er, it could alert me to use my sense of smell?

You mean you wouldn't smell it anyway?

WHERE THERE IS SMOKE THERE IS FIRE! OR WEED!

ALSO! IT OCCURS TO ME THAT IF SOMEONE WHERE TO SET FIRE TO A GROW HOUSE WORLD PEACE COULD BE ACHIEVED!

Maybe the batteries are ~~at equilibrium~~ dead? Smoke alarms make noise when they want to feast upon fresh batteries.

That's it, I'm pretty sure. I think it'd be shrieking if it thought there was actually a fire.
