but they know they are in love.
One day they decide that they want to get married,
so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.

Bruce bravely walks up to him and says,
"Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love
and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."

Thinking that this was just the cutest thing,
Mr. Smith replies,
"Well Bruce, you are only 10..
Where will you two live?"

Without even taking a moment to think about it,
Bruce replies,
"In Jenny's room.
It's bigger than mine
and we can both fit there nicely."

Still thinking this is just adorable,
Mr. Smith says with a huge grin,
"Okay, then how will you live?
You're not old enough to get a job.
You'll need to support Jenny."

Again, Bruce instantly replies, "Our allowance,
Jenny makes five bucks a week
and I make 10 bucks a week.
That's about 60 bucks a month,
so that should do us just fine."

Mr. Smith is impressed
Bruce has put so much thought into this.

"Well Bruce,
it seems like you have everything figured out.
I just have one more question
What will you do if the two of you should have
little children of your own?"

Bruce just shrugs his shoulders and says,
"Well, we've been lucky so far."

Mr. Smith no longer thinks the little shit is adorable.

Communications radioed command and indicated his first PAR check was coming up. His response was "County we don't need PAR checks, everything is defensive no one is inside."

Boy I wonder how he would feel if someone went down while walking around the back of the house. From looking at a satellite view, it appears to be in a very wooded area and from radio comm. it sounds like it is set back in a lane. I think PAR checks are equally important in a setting like this where there is a good chance of multiple hazards around the exterior.

I have to question the laws regarding wearing the reflective vests we all had to go spend our hard earned money on. We are constantly responding to vehicle accidents and ONLY fire personnel are wearing these vests over our bunker gear which already has reflective stripes. There are almost, 99.9% of the time, police and EMS personnel on these scenes not wearing any reflective attire let alone a vest. I just wonder why this is required if only certain emergency responders are wearing them. I know you get into the whole federal funded roadway thing, but most of us don't know which are which so why not wear them on all roadways? The second part of my rant is seeing fire personnel wear these, specifically under an SCBA on a fire incident. Seems that there needs to be more training on who, when, where, why, we need to be wearing these. Just this morning we pulled up to an MVA watching a police officer directing traffic in his black uniform. Okay, stepping off the soap box and applying the bullet/taser proof suit now. ]]> General Fire Discussion chuck1510 http://www.centralpafire.com/forum/showthread.php?45183-Reflective-Vests
