So some of us were having an inconsequential and totally harmless conversation about fire trucks when the thread got CLOSED. Well, let's try again and see if we can avoid whatever awful faux pas caused the closing of that thread. Please keep all comments directly related to fire trucks. No snide remarks, innuendos, cussing, or anything else that might upset anyone. Okay?

Now, I like fire trucks. They are red, only some of them are sort of a baby shit green color. (Ooops! Shouldn't have said that, should I?)

Sometimes fire trucks are parked in firehouses. Other times they are parked in the parking lots of stuff-your-face-until-you-puke type buffet restaurants. I guess that's so the firemen don't have to run back to the station if a call comes in. Pretty good idea, huh? Having the fire truck right there, that is, not eating at the feed-bag buffet. That shit'll clog your arteries unless you stick with the salad and broiled fish. (Ooops! I think I said "shit" again. Sorry.)

It's also kinda nice to have lots of trained emergency responders in the restaurant since most of the people eating there are grossly overweight and old as God and the odds of a whole roomful of 'em makin' it through a meal without at least one of 'em having a heart attack and going face-first into his mashed potatoes are pretty damned slim. (Dammit! I think I just insulted fat people and old people both in one overly long sentence. I just don't seem to be able to get this politically correct crap.)

One of the Clones was reading the thread, and clicked the "close" link by mistake. Sorry 'bout that. I combined the threads.
