Smoke Detectors (Bad Cook Detectors)

Do you know those news stories which explain a house was burnt down because their smoke detectors were broken, those are not true. Let me explain.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, this is the sound the smokes detector will create to alert an individual that a fire is near by. Smoke detectors are said to be one of the most important devices to have in your household in order to protect your family or if living alone, you and your dog, from a fire. I understand these are useful to alert an individual that their house is on fire, but I believe they were created for a different use.

The smoke detectors real purpose was not to detect fires, but to make you feel like an idiot when you get the sudden thought in your head that convinces you, although I have never cooked, I can cook the filet mignon that I just watch Chef Alapomoli make on the cooking channel. Fifteen minutes later, you believe you are creating a deluxe meal for yourself, when all of a sudden, the Bad Cook Detector begins to beep.

You run over to where the detector is located, grab your pillow from your, at one time expensive couch, and begin beating wind around the detector with all of your might. After several minutes of waving a pillow in the air, it finally stops beeping as you stand there panting, trying to retain your breath. Although you know once you walk away and head back to the filet mignon, the detector will begin to beep, but you convince yourself to walk away. You realize if you just open the windows the detector will not begin to beep again. You walk over and open the windows, you then travel back to the kitchen to see if the filet mignon is burnt, when it occurs.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. At top speed you run back to the detector, pick up your fancy couch pillow, and wave the pillow as hard as you can to make this detector shut off. But this time, it does not seem to stop, you put the pillow down and grab a towel, that does not seem to stop it either, and then the idea finally hits you, remove the batteries. You reach up for the detector, pull it down, open the back, and remove the batteries, silence. You can finally get back to cooking your now burnt filet mignon and all is peaceful.
