  1. British Man Puts Out Kitchen Fire With Aunt's Oversized Underwear

    POSTED: 10:25 am PST January 2, 2008

    LONDON -- They went from baggy knickers to the ultimate hotpants.

    A fire department official in Britain says Jenny Marsey's miraculous underwear saved the day by doubling as an emergency fire blanket during a kitchen blaze.

    Marsey's nephew, John, was frying bread in her kitchen in Hartlepool, northeast England, on Sunday when the fire broke out.

    He grabbed the nearest thing from a pile of washing to smother the fire - a wet pair of his aunt's size 18 underwear.

    The nephew's quick thinking saved the kitchen but left Marsey's underpants slightly scorched.

    "It could have been a lot worse,' said Marsey. "My family could have been in hospital but the knickers saved the day."

  5. I suppose necessity truly is the mother of invention, afterall. I don't think that I would have come to that solution, but I don't make it a habit of starting kitchen fires, either. I don't think I want John to do any cooking at my house, and I'll avoid the whole scenario.

  6. At the risk of giving too much information--
    I don't think there are any panties in our house capable of the job

  7. You could buy a pair MM and just keep them around for emergencies. Make sure they are white though, that way if you are attacked and decide, after a long siege where you run out of nibbles and beer, to surrender you can also use them for a flag

  8. LOL..glad to see that ear hasn't affected your humor...My thought about this story..is way would you tell the reporter what size underwear you wear? or was it the nephew giving out too much info..they could have just said large panties..
