Light My Fire
Scene Willy putting up the exam rope out side the Hall when accosted by a male teacher
Teacher: Willy come quick there is smoke in the Hall!
Willy: where’s it coming from?
Teacher: Its coming from one of the heaters what shall we do?
Willy: Turn it off would be a good start
The heater is turned off, the smoke is coming from a smouldering roll of sticky tape perched on the heater, and the heater is at least 3 meters from the ground
Teacher: What shall we do about all the smoke?
Willy: Turn on the blowers to clear the air
And walks out
Willy goes back to putting up the exam rope, Teacher exits the Hall waving his arms and shouting
Teacher: Help Willy the heater is on fire!
Willy goes into the Hall whist the examination is in progress, the smouldering roll of sticky tape perched on the heater has now burst into flame and is dripping globs of sizzling plastic to the floor. The teachers are all standing around wondering what to do; shall they evacuate the Hall during the examination? Can they get compensation for PTSD caused by this?
Teacher: What will we do?
Willy: I’ll be back
And goes off to fetch the ladder a bucket of water and a damp cloth
Upon his return he erects the ladder and climbs it, smothering the roll of sticky tape with the damp cloth and scraping it into the bucket of water
Willy: That’s fixed that
And packs up the ladder, bucket and cloth and exits the Hall
Teachers look on in amazement
Teachers gotta love em.

Exam rope ? - Do Bunnings have any?
Yeah, why didn't I get exam rope at school?
We had a teacher who stopped our class to interrogate us about who had the loud wristwatch. It was a sprinkler on the oval.
You only get exam rope if you fail
Then you can take a Long Drop.....
Cruel, but so much for some people appears to ride on the results.
The school exam rope is used to rope off the area near to the air intake vents of the hall to prevent 'noise' interupting.
You really are showing your age Flash. Wind up wrist watches, what a novelty.
In my day we had wrist sundials.
