And McGaffey's (#4) take on the preceding dialogue sounds right -- she'd be one to bring up matching, the boss isn't introducing the concept but responding.

They just seem to be more "what would happen if...." setups. There might be a short chuckle imagining something, but usually I just wonder why I still read them. And I agree with Powers (13). The woman is drawn in a different style than usual. Maybe she's supposed to be exotic. I think the problem is that F-Minus cartoons aren’t really jokes.

If I don't mention that, somebody will write "he's telling hem to wear the smoke alarms because the emergency system is down, duh!"

Either the fire goes unnoticed because no-one is nearby, or it scares the bejeezes out of the person wearing the thing when they would smell the smoke anyway.
