I live in a small town. I drove by the fire station the other day and caught a glimpse of our town's volunteer fire-fighters. They appear to average about 5'9, 275 pounds. Don't get me wrong, I respect these people volunteering to do something that could potentially put their lives in jeopardy, but I can't help, but feel terrified of having a house fire after seeing them all grouped up outside talking to eachother while simultaneously giving each other inadvertent belly-bumps. Not only did I observe these guys' physiques, but I know them personally. The types of dudes that had no mobility in gym class. I would just tear them up in dodgeball. If I ever suspect that there is a fire in my house, I will probably just call a bunch of my friends to help me. With most of these volunteer fire fighters we have in town, I find it difficult to imagine them hoisting themselves into a fire truck, let alone climb ladders and attempt to save lives.
I'm telling you, there better not ever be a fire in my house or I will totally flip shit.
