talk about a burn

So today there was a fire at a local tanning salon. Thankfully no one was severely hurt or injured. But I did find some irony in the story. First off I went to the local paper's website to see if there were photos, luckily for me there were.

Photo #1: Front of building with over two dozen firemen. You might think that is a lot of firemen but don't worry, it was because the fire hall is located right across the street. I'm sure they had no problem walking across the street and I'm sure every fireman wanted to check out this scene. Why? Who goes to a tanning salon? Mostly women, especially women who get naked! Chances are some of those women would have been so scared they would just run out into the cold without any clothes on and who better to come to their aid then firemen!?!? I wonder was their response time was.

Photo #2: Receptionist from the tanning salon. I emphasize that she worked at the tanning salon - she was orange. And leathery. She should find a new job.

Photo #3: The man who first noticed the fire. So the fire actually started in his tanning bed and and he is actually very lucky to have escaped with just some burns on his 'stomach' (is he too embarassed to tell the truth?). But in this photo the man is ghostly white - obviously he is new at this tanning thing. But he comments that this won't be ending his 'tanning career'!! Career?!? I didn't know it was such a sought after career!! Another one of his comments was that he 'barely made it out of there'! Funny again!

So I decide to check out what, if anything, the CBC site has to say about this. Bonus, they got something!! The title of their article? Naked man flees from tanning bed. Hilarious!! Was the word 'naked' really needed in the title?!?

On another note, the Running Room is located right beside the tanning salon - I wonder how fast they got out of their place?

EDIT: Perez Hilton mentioned this story on his site, too funny!
