a conversation of neighbors

This is what I believe must have played out last night with my new neighbors.......

Setting:
Schofield Barracks, 6 infantry soldiers returning home from 15 months in Iraq. around 8:30pm


"Hey Bob you know what sounds really good?, some grilled food."
"Good thinking Fred" " you know what would be really cool? grilling in the house!!"
"That is a great idea, we could stay nice and warm in the house"
"Let's set up the charcoal grills, and douse them with a lot of gas so they get some good flames going."
"Bob you are a genius" "wow those flames are getting pretty high, but we are nice and protected in our covered porch"
"Fred, do you think the smoke is getting very thick?"
"No Bob, it just means it is time to grill"
"Can you see the kitchen from here?"

At this time their neighbor Jennifer looks out her window, and says "Oh my God!! What idiots!!!"and calls the police.

"Bob do you hear something?"

"You mean the air rushing out my ears?"

"No, not that Bob, sounds like a firetruck"

"Well Fred it is probably just some idiot who is about ready to burn their house down, doing something stupid:

"Thank goodness we are not that stupid, we are infantry after all, not some stupid engineer, oh wait maybe that is the other way around?"

The last thing that is heard is the knock, knock at the door.
