Unless someone provided a ladder for you to climb down, you're ****ed.


Fire truck will have a ladder. If the fire is forcing me out though,
I'd jump and risk a broken leg rather than burn to death.

A tip is to hang from the window sill. It gets you closer to the ground.

A smoke detector is better. Protect lives and property; in that order.

If there's a fire, it wakes me up as it's harder to breathe. To me a smoke alarm is to warn me to stop it burning down a part of the house I'm not in, or killing a pet, which is why mine are linked and all sound at once.

A woman was standing at the edge of a cliff trying to get the nerve to jump off.
A homeless drunk stopped and mumbled, "If you're about to kill yourself, how about a shag before you go?"
The woman was angry and said, "No! **** off you filthy old *******!"
The tramp turned to leave and said, "No problem, I'll just go and wait at the bottom then."
