unflamable fliers



Who came up with the idea to make nonsense useless? For one: the "Real Estate" advertiser. 


We get these "flyers" in the mail box every day (and not much else) .

The only thing the paper could be used for is to light a fire but it will not burn. Some genius has figured out that you might continue reading if the page won't ignite? Give me a break here! 


They soak the paper in fire retardant? I noticed the venerable "Globe and Mail" is also soaking the front page in some form of suppressant but the interior pages burn like a house afire. I ain't about to buy an over priced house in the Nanaimo area or need any tools from Home Hardware in the short term but i should and used to be able to light a fire with the pages.

What are we supposed to do with this "paper"? 
Recycle it with our old NiCad batteries?

The glossy nonsense will smolder for a bit and then extinguish itself.

Then some of the "flyers" are stuck together. My shakey morning fingers work away as I drool on the pages. They have gone to the trouble of gluing the stupid adds together!

And making them "fire safe"!

Where do people like that come from?
