Amazing new alarm system

(smirk, true)

This was read out on the News Quiz on BBC Radio 4 last week.  It comes
allegedly from the Huddersfield Daily Examiner and it's about a man whose
life was saved by a smoke detector.

It was a sheer miracle considering he'd taken the battery out and taped
it to the ceiling.  He decided that he was going to have some chips one
night, but he fell asleep in a chair directly under the detector.  The
pan eventually erupted in flames but the smoke and crackling fat failed
to rouse him.  Gradually the heat rose and hit the ceiling and the tape
began to peel.  The alarm then fell on the man's head, waking him up.
