Please tell me why my neighbors have a fire in their fireplace?

[Gothic Sponge]

I just had to shut my windows because the smoke from their chimney was overwhelming. Who has fires in New York in June? They must be drunk or disposing a body!

1. Because...

if they had a fire in thier bathtub, it would look silly.

2. Maybe They're Republicans

And burning some evidence before November.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. If they were, they'd be buring a cross instead.

[agates]

4. Nixon's ghost

maybe? Is their airconditioner running, too? Nixon used to do that.

[BattyDem]

5. They could be either ...

Compassionate Conservatives (cold-hearted) or Neo-cons (cold-blooded). In any case, I wouldn't get too close to them ... you never know when they'll get the urge to burn a "bleedin' heart liberal"

6. It's covering up the smell of the meth lab.

Nothing to worry about...

[TheWizardOfMudd]

7. Their air conditioner thermostat is stuck on 60 degrees

8. uh, don't know where you are, but my part of NY is chilly

tonight.
It might be their anniversary, or a special shag?

?who knows.
