: I was just sitting around thinking about all the interests and stuff we talked about, and all of asudden it struck me! I thought, "Surely somebody I know can breath fire!"
: I'm sure one of you can, your just shy or something.
: Fess up,YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
I don't know about fire, but I did try to breath water once after a very life-like dream in which I could... I almost drowned myself.
...Oh but someone did ask me to light his head on fire once. Really, he knew special effects tricks, but I said no after visualizing the headlines.
...And that reminds me of the alternative that we concocted for a presentation in high school. It was me and the same guy and we decided to do this sort of genie coming out of the lamp deal (don't remember why, probably mid east lit.) So I had to buy a lamp, but all I could find was this brass urn, like one you'd put your uncle in. The guy rigged it up so that when you pulled a string a cloud of blue smoke would burst from the jar. The problem was that he used blue chalk dust for smoke, so when I pulled the string it shot a cloud of dust all over the people in the front row. They sat stunned like I had never seen... then I realized that they saw dust shoot from an urn...they thought they had dead relative all over them!
I had to convince them it was chalk before they would breath again...no joke.
