a peice of cloth (usually cotton) that gets caught in the space between the dryers' spin thingy and the actualy dryer, and then creates a big
fire that almost burns down the house, causing a mother and an only
child to call
911, only to find that 911 is on their lunch break so it takes them 9 RINGS to pick up and then 10 minutes to get to their house...armed with 3 or 4
fire trucks and a few police cars...all of which are unnecessary...even under these circumstances. (yes, this is a true story)
