Governor Schwarzenegger, whenever there is a big fire he shows up to survey the damage and pat the fire fighters on the back, that’s what the governor should do. But he also, and I’m gonna show you some news coverage 1 from last few years, has an uncanny ability to find dumbbells. He can walk into any burn down house and instantly find dumbbells. Take a look.


Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was also in Twin Pines today, getting a first-hand look at the destruction the fire left behind.


Strong winds are predictive for today. The calm conditions yesterday allowed Governor Schwarzenegger to tour that area.


He scans the wreckage 2 and somehow zeros in on dumbbells. And then delightedly picks them up. Look at what this left over, dumbbells. Maybe I should lift them. Well, the governor was in Topanga Caynon today and guess what he found.


Governor Schwarzenegger got a first-hand look today after devastation 3 caused by the fires. He walked to burnt out home near the...Topanga Ranger 4 Station ...


OK. See, the man is, is a some sort of divining rod for dumbbells. It's like an Easter Egg hunt for him.


Maria, guess what I've found today.

A dumbbell?

Yeah! It's a dumbbell!


The biggest fire known as the station fire. This one has burnt 144,000 acres, it's now 38% contained, 58% uncontained and 4% undecided, adds up to 62%. And here is what I wanna say to, that fraction of uncontained fire. Listen up 62%. Your days are numbered. We've got hoses and helicopters and dumbbell-finding governor and we've got Megan Fox who happens to be a lot hotter than you, so beat it and you know when we will call you. We ‘ll call you when we need to do the only thing that you are actually good at which is perfectly 5 melting the marshmallow and chocolate on my graham crackers 6. Until then, good day, fire.


OK. Let's be honest, this city can't contain Lindsay Lohan, I don't know how we can be expected to contain a fire. Hundreds of homes have been evacuated 7, but some people you know refuse to leave their houses. And like this guy who spoke 8 to a reporter from our local KT L.A. news.


I'm looking at your roof and I look at the flames that are maybe...

Sixty foot?

Yeah.

A lot of estate, a lot of citizen, you know. Cops knock on door telling us to leave.

Of course.

We just, left the lights off stay inside, because you know who wants, realistically, who wants to leave their house up here now?

Of course, I understand you. But, and I, you can hear the roar, (Oh yeah) so are you going to boogie(flee in fear) now or...

Ah, no, I'm gonna stay. I think I am gonna stay.


The fire burnt his shirt, so what else?


By the way, that guy definitely has dumbbells in his house, right?
