    A grease fire in an electric toaster? Nothing a bowl of water couldn’t cure. /s

    (/s because it would explode and could electrocute you at the same time)

      WTF is the point of making a joke, putting an idiot-“s” then a disclaimer?

      If someone takes you seriously that’s a Darwin award waiting to happen and the human race will improve slightly

        I used to hate the /s but we live in a global world where there may be young people and non native english speakers reading these comments. What is an obvious sarcastic joke to you and I might get lost in translation and on a case like this where actual fatal consequences could follow the joke being misunderstood there’s no harm in the community self policing a little to help keep everyone safe and in the loop.
