pour some flammable chemical all over icy roads and light up. Added heat improves traction faster than salt or sand alone; flames warn drivers that ice is present and they need to slow down.
Pork in the government appropriation bill for this will buy custard treats for cats.

You could assign a platoon of walking workers armed with these to keep the roads free of ice. [jurist, Nov 28 2005]

If the cats get custard, won't the pirates get jealous? I'd ARRRGGGGue that they would. |

Burning liquid on top of ice will usually not be very effective at transfering heat downward. On the other hand, us cats do appreciate your kind thoughts. |

Maybe it wouldn't melt the ice but I do think the warning driver's to slow down part would work awfully well. |

When I first saw the title for this, I thought about icing on aircraft wings, etc. So, I thought of a what the captain would say, "Ladies and Gentlement. Please don't be alarmed by the flaming wings. We are de-icing." or "Smoking is now permitted on this flight, provided you are wing-walking." or "We've added a new flame broiler to our wings. Please indicate to your flight attendant if you'd like your burgers well done or rare." |
