Not a fire hazard? Really? That stuff would burn like the freaking Hindenburg. There would be a firestorm of epic proportions.
Wearing a mask with your nose sticking out is like wearing a condom on your testicles.
When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.
Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.
............Oh, what fresh hell is this?

It's the Australian version of the BBC, and it's a little different from your PBS. The BBC, the ABC, the CBC, and the NZBC, are required by Royal Charter to be funded by government, but to be totally independent of the government of the day. Most political parties hate them, cos they are the only broadcasters with the guts to criticise the government.
Commercial broadcasters can't, cos big business and political parties are in each other's pockets most of the time - e.g: political donations, repaid by political favours - like you gets what you pays for.
And the great thing is the ABC gets all the best BBC historical, nature, and drama productions, and there are no ads. Our TVs at home are welded to the ABC channels.

Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
for a glow worm's never glum,
'cause how can you be grumpy
when the sun shines out your bum!
