Little Fire Fighter

I was too lazy busy over the weekend to sit down and actually do some really good creative writing for all of you. So you will have to live with this nice little joke that I got in an email from a friend of mine. I hope you enjoy it.



A fire fighter was working on the engine outside the Station, when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.


The girl was wearing a fire fighters helmet.


The wagon was being pulled by her dog and her cat.


The fire fighter walked over to take a closer look. “That sure is a nice fire truck,” the fire fighter said with admiration.


“Thanks,” the girl replied. 

The fire fighter looked a little closer. The girl had tied the wagon to her dog's collar and to the cat's testicles.


“Little partner,” the fire fighter said, “I don't want to tell you how to run your rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think you could go faster.”


The little girl replied thoughtfully, “You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a siren.”



Have a great Monday and I will try to write something good for you tonight when and if I ever get out of work.

    My first thought was thinking of how a cat's howl sounds a great deal like a siren. Smart girl, I'd say.
