My dad used to come home after a long day of work and put his feet upon the ottoman and go into a deep sleep. My husband and I were visiting and I thought it would be funny to yell "fire"! But I asked my husband to do it. At first he shook his head no, but I insisted. I hadn't taken into consideration that he had been a drama student in high school. He yelled fire so convincingly, that I thought there was a fire! Well my dad did too! He jumped up, kicking the ottoman across the room! GOD DAMN IT, he said! And left the room to cool off! UGH! I laughed and then cringed for days. So worried that he would experience a heart attack sometime within the week. He was very frightened. In that moment I understood why its against the law to yell FIRE in a crowd! Peg
