    Last night smoke came out of a socket in the hallway and set it off.... Wet plugs or something.

    Was it late when it went off? I always take the batteries out of mine before going to bed. I work early and don't want the stupid thing waking me up.

    Great idea!
    you'll be sound asleep when the smoke has had it's way with you!

    PS I hope you're joking

    Considering that we do live in the age of freely available internet pornography I can understand that being penetrated in 3 orifices simultaneously can cause one to get rather wet.
