So, I was just thinking...
Today I was admiring the building I work in. It's an 8 story building, with a fire escape off the 2nd floor. As I admired this fine structure, I'm thinking "that fire escape is made of wood." And then it dawned on me... isn't that almost pointless? One would think that it would be more dangerous on the fire escape during a fire than actually inside the building. Anyways, what do I know. I was just thinking.
