It’s a long story, but Zaque carefully explained the three rules of Chinese Fire Drills.
1. You shall not ask if it’s okay to have a Chinese Fire Drill. You shall simply announce it. Loudly.
2. If you hear someone announce a Chinese Fire Drill, you must participate. Even if you’re the driver.
3. You shall not plan a Chinese Fire Drill in advance.
Apparently there was a Situation the other night– which he’s still upset about– wherein all three rules were broken. Oh, the travesty.
