Grease Fire
“Hey,” the speaker said, “I got one for you. Grease fire,
wood fire.”
“I’m listening,” I said.
“You throw a little water on a wood fire and it goes out. Throw
water on a grease fire and it spreads.”
“Alcohol is like the water?” I guessed.
He nodded. “My wife has a rough day, drinks a glass of wine,
and relaxes. She’s a wood fire.”
“You have a couple of beers and whatever problems you were
having spread.”
“I’m a grease fire,” he said.
“And the water doesn’t have to be alcohol. It could be
anything that’s the wrong way to deal with a problem.”
“Gotta know what kind of fire you’re dealing with, what kind
of fire you are.”
Today I won’t throw ‘water’ on a ‘grease fire.’
