Forest fires

Fires don't just come from lightning, so the same is true of forest fires. They're as likely to come from industrial sources, or from humans, just like city fires.

Fire is as likely to come from arson as it is anywhere else, and it's a little suspect when someone tries to get somebody else to quickly rule out arson as even a possibility rather than as absolute, the way some writers write stories in the news about how the fire is thought to or does absolutely come from lightning, without offering any other realistic possibilities. Does telling people a fire came from lightning rather than arson or another source really make them feel safer when they can end up just as dead from a fire that started from lightning? Theres no good reason people shouldn't question or speculate about where forest fires came from, especially when it's all over the west coast, which is unusual most years.

Forrest Fire

When one unknowingly acts on a situation others would clearly avoid; pertaining to physical acts or input in a conversation. That results in either unintentionally offending or breaking someone/something. As well as being humorous to all who witness the action.

Walking through a brand new screen door, just another Forrest Fire...

You're fired!

Donald Trump's catchphrase. Contrary to popular belief, however, the phrase was not originally popularized by him. In point of fact, the phrase entered popular culture in the 1963 animated series, "The Jetsons." George Jetson's (the titular character) boss, Mr. Spacely, could be seen in multiple episodes threatening to (or following through) fire George Jetson. It was a running gag throughout the series.

"Jetson! You're fired!"
