They want equality until it's time to take the trash out.


You heard about Rush Limbaugh in an elevator and Hilary Clinton got on didn't you? She hit the stop button, turned to Rush, started taking her clothes off and told him she wanted him to make her a real woman. So, he takes off all his clothes, bends over, picks both his and her clothes up, hands them to her and says "Here, Fold These."

ROFL ROFL ROFL

i hadn't heard that, it's hilarious!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

ROFL That is pretty good.

Let's not forget Skip that when they actually have to respond to a call Firefighters entering to fight a burning building or to rescue someone inside a burning building jumps right to the top of the list as one of the most hazardous jobs to ones life there is. In fact they have a much higher casuality rate for injuries and death than Law enforcement personel. Can't speak for Cops since I wasn't one. But I was in Law enforcement on the federal level. I suppose if you consider riding around in a cruiser all day being lazy you could look at it from that angle. But when you approach a vehicle you stopped or respond to a call you best have your wits about you. Or it could cost you your life. So I'll cut these guys some slack.

I have a really close friend who's a cop. (weird, aint it?) He describes his career like this...

"It's generally 8 hours of boredom, but now and then you have a few minutes of sheer terror... and that's when you have to remember how to do your job.."

The same job description goes for a grunt or jarhead in Iraq and Afganistan everyday. When their given the word to mount up and move out and then word comes down to lock and load the blood pressure and adrenaline skyrockets. And everyone of your 5 senses and 6 if your lucky are redlining.:eek:

Nah, it ain't weird. We'd expect you to have a cop or two as friends for as much time as you have spent with them.:p

Heh... I haven't spent near as much time around cops as you guys think. :harumph:

Actually, I have... but only because I've had cops in the family since I was a kid.

Same here. One of my Uncles was a Homicide Det in Kansas City. He left the force a number of years back and went to work as a Insurance investigator. Better hrs. and a lot more $$$. He was instrumental in my interest in Law Enforcement. I applied for the *** about 3 years after I graduated college and spent time bumming around and not really knowing what I wanted to do with my degree in Business. Course I was sort of the hippy type and partied quite a bit. Drank a lot and did about every drug known to man and then some a time or two. And my best friend who was about to join the Air Force and still is in the Air Force but is due to retire soon got me to fill out a app for the *** at a job fair we went to. I was shocked that after a few months had gone by that I got a call to come in for a interview. Came in and had to fill out another application. When it came down to the question about whether or not I drank, used or had used drugs before I answered yes to all of the above. I knew they were going to find out anyway if they did a background check on me by talking to friends, neighbors, teachers, employers ect. So why lie about it. I was stunned and floored that after another couple of months went by that I was called in for another interview and then offered the job. Turns out admitting my drug use was a bonus for telling the truth. Go figure.:shrug: So here's a lesson for you boys and girls. Always tell the truth. ROFL

If you like my uni you'd love my black helicopter.

Well sure, the FDA considers drug use a plus.

Thats sucks man, talk about bad luck.

the uniform is only a small part of the fireman charm-- there is also the running into burning buildings to save cute puppies or babies, playing cards, having a dalmation, looking fabulous with no shirt on, being strong enough to carry me out of a burning building just in case I faint from smoke inhalation, and not looking like Jacquin Phoenix (he's not attractive).

In short, I'm not really a uniform gal- I'm more of the saving people and puppies from burning buildings lover.

Play cards: check
Used to wear a uniform: check
Used to have a dalmation (dumbest dog ever): check
Used to look fabulous with no shirt on: check
being strong enough to carry you out of a building: check

How much ransom do you think your family could afford, angel?

three out of the five you checked off are in the "used to" category... that just won't fly

ransom?

what does kidnapping have to do with anything?
