"Hot Popcorn"

Last night I went to the $1.50 theater with my sister and some friends. We arrived a bit early so we were waiting in the lobby. All of the sudden we heard gasps from one of the concession counters and I felt a gush of hot air. The popcorn machine had burst into flame and it went all the way up to the ceiling! The employees scattered and then one came back with a fire extinguisher. The fire kept popping back up after he sprayed it. It was quite entertaining. We all stood around watching until they kicked us out as the lobby was filled with smoke. Fire trucks came and they finally anounced that no more movies would be showing for the day as they had to get it checked out by a health inspector. We ended up going to our friends' house and watching a movie there. We can reuse our tickets another day this week, so in the end we decided that the whole ordeal made for a much more entertaining evening. Oh, I almost forgot-- directly above the fire there was a neon sign that said "Hot Popcorn" :) Yeah, I'd say! We're planning to go back tomorrow evening to see Oceans 13, but somehow, I think we'll forego the popcorn.
