Firestarter
My parents always told me growing up, “Do what you love and the money will follow.” Then the Beatles told me you “Can’t Buy Me Love.” Now I’m as confused as this fella.
SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - A federal firefighter in Idaho is facing arson charges linked to least one blaze in an act that may have been motivated by a desire to produce some firefighting work, officials said on Friday.
Levy Miller, 21, is in Lemhi County Jail charged with starting an August 13 blaze on the outskirts of Salmon, an area of thick forests and natural beauty, officials said. The half-acre blaze was snuffed out quickly by fire crews.
Lemhi County Sheriff Sam Slavin said Miller, who has worked as a firefighter with the federal Bureau of Land Management for two years, persuaded a Salmon teen to start the August 13 fire “to drum up business.”
Quite a sad tale, but starting a fire because business is slow is never a smart answer. Unless you operate a Smores store.
Of course, this tragic tome raises suspicions about other professionals and what they could do to drum up business…
- Microsoft tech support operator: Let someone buy any Microsoft product
- Optometrist: Make people read Ayn Rand
- Personal trainer: Put Calista Flockhart back on the air
- Scuba diver: Leave the tub running too long
- Yanni: Increase deafness

Whats sad about this all is that I grew up with Levi, and he was a good person, just sometimes overeager to show off what he knew.

OMG… Maybe he thought that Captain Beatty of Fahrenheit 451 had the right idea, that burning could solve problems?
