If they catch fire, toss 'em in the lake.

Today I went to La Laguna de Apoyo, a crater lake near Masaya, Nicaragua. It was picturesque, just like Lonely Planet had promised. Yay! I hiked down to the water, touched the water, decided it would be nice to swim in, decided then that I'd prefer not to be wet, took a few pictures, then hiked back up to the crater rim, at which point I was dripping sweat, my khaki pants soaked through, and I decided a swim would be nice. Apoyo is at the wrong end of the journey.

This advisory, taped to my hotel room's wall, might be more interesting:
DO NOT USE the fan as clothes dryer. could overheat and cause fire. Think about their safety.
I guess clothes and/or fans, I'm still a bit confused, are something of sacred commodities around here...

Or perhaps "their" is referring to the safety of your testicles. Say you had an embarrassing accident and were trying to cover the mistake...
