Things Azz shouldn't propose as swag: Lighters.

[kateshort]

While planning a conference, azurelunatic is discovering branded swag that could be bought... but shouldn't:

Twitter wanted to know if there were any problems that could not be solved with fire. Oh, Twitter. ♥

I could think of two examples offhand. This thing is on fire and should not be on fire: this usually cannot be solved by adding more fire. (I say usually, because in certain situations, setting another fire going in a direction that is going to collide with the first fire will burn up everything in the first fire's path before it can get there, thus depriving it of fuel (in theory) when the two meet.) Perhaps someone does not like a co-worker: this is a problem that could be solved with fire, but should not be.

Context also includes Cowbell, and More Cowbell.

fleas on your pet is the first ting i thought of.

That is indeed a problem where fire is very not applicable.

It will remove the fleas. The problem is underspecified unless you reframe it as "get rid of the fleas without harming[*] the pet".

[*] At least in any significant manner. I suspect flea medicine will do some damage to the pet as well, though probably less than the fleas are already causing.
