Chimny...and...
There was some 'greasy-spoon' restaurant around the corner
here...that burned down.
Turned out there was a 'bum' who had lodged himself in the
upper area of the large flue as vents the big Stove where
they cooked...and. presumably, subsequently, deceased and
remained lodged in there...
Appearantly, the cadaver had not obturated the flue enough
to keep it from venting, but, he had wicked up an enourmous
amount of the volitalised grease...
Well...one day he caught fire and...it was very difficult to
extinguish, causing a lot of ancillary damage to the
restaurant.
I am not making this up!
It was in the papers!
