Jeanine was a famous chef who worked in one of the biggest restaurants in her hometown of Cleveland. Jeanine was invited to give a lecture at one of the culinary schools near her home. The students were excited and flocked in to class to hear the famous chef speak. The class was packed with students and there was standing room only.

Jeanine walked in wearing a crisp white chef uniform and her long apron. She lectured for over an hour on the history of cooking, and then decided to take the students through a practical session.

She was explaining how women used to collect eggs from the henhouse early in the morning; being too dark, they carried a candle for light. Unfortunately, Jeanine got a little carried away with enthusiasm, and decided to demonstrate. She lit a candle and showed the students how ladies would pick the eggs from under the hens and place it in their aprons.

While she demonstrated, most of the students had their heads buried in the notes they were furiously scribbling. As Jeanine enacted putting the egg in her pocket while holding the candle, she managed to light the apron on fire. Even before she had realized it, she was in flames and one student yelled “Fire!”

A girl who was sitting close to the stage ran up, grabbed the fire extinguisher, and emptied the whole thing on Jeanine. Crisis averted, the students were roaring with laughter. Being a shy person in the first place, Jeanine was humiliated, and quickly wrapped up the class. She always kept that funny apron to remind her to never again agree to give a lecture or a speech.
