- What to do if your house catches on fire *
In America: As soon as you see flames or smoke, exit the nearest door to the outside immediately. Make sure everyone in the house is outside and call 911 on your cellphone, or a neighbors phone. Wait outside until the fire department arrives.
In China: As soon as you see flames or smoke, all males in the house must exit the nearest door, followed by the females. Females may not exit first. Then run around the house to the opposite door, and all females must go inside first, followed by the males. All females must beat out the flames using paper chinese fans, while the males cook dinner on the embers.
!!! Now you know the TRUE meaning of a "Chinese Fire Drill" !!!
Contrary to public opinion, a Chinese Fire Drill is *NOT* when one of those cheap "Made In China" Electric Drills bursts into flame after 5 minutes of use. That's called a "Chinese Warranty". (Guarenteed to last Five Minutes or it will be replaced with another Five Minute drill). [They're normally sold at Harbor Freight].
