You might prefer the grannies over the g-string on this one

They're not my personal choice, but 'granny panties' can come in handy sometime--no, not in the bedroom; in the kitchen.

A man in London put out a kitchen fire Sunday with aunt's extra large underwear.

John Marsey and his cousin Darren Lines were frying bread in Jenny Marsey's kitchen when suddenly a fire started. Thinking quickly, Lines grabbed Lines grabbed the underwear from a nearby pile of laundry, ran it under water, and put the fire out.

That's gotta cause some skid marks.

According to the AP, the fire official at the scene said the general principle of using a large, wet cloth to cover a grease fire was a sound one. But as for using underwear: "Clearly it depends on what size you are — but I don't want to go there."


What also makes me laugh the most is that the Associated Press wrote: "his aunt's billowing, powder blue, size XL underpants." Billowing? I really hope no one ever describes any article of my clothing as billowing. Yikes. Hello embarrassing.
