It is said that Charlemagne had an asbestos table cloth (that is a cloth made of asbestos tailored for the dining table and not a cloth for the purposes of covering an asbestos table). He would show off its fire proof attributes by putting it in a fire which also doubled as laundering it.

Can I suggest both you and Ezekiel would be more welcome in the smokeroom if you tried that out with your loinproofing (but taking in E-S's warning - not in a SECA or ECA).
