I just realized that for Judy to claim to believe
that the following joke was a "death threat," she
has to have believed that bursting into flames
was synonymous with death, that there was no
option BUT death in that scenario.
Did it never occur to her that the teams of scien-
tists (and not just *any* scientists...*MUM*
scientists present to study the phenomenon of
spontaneous combustion might just have a fire
extingisher or two and maybe a doctor handy, just
in case it actually happened?
That seems to me to be somewhat of a statement about
how smart Judy thinks the scientists at MUM are:
* Too dumb to bring a fire extinguisher to an
experiment on spontaneous combustion.
* On the other hand, smart enough to have proved
TM's value beyond the shadow of a doubt.
