Doe's your department do a "hoser" award?

Every year we've got a firefighter party and the Chief gives out a "hoser" award for the firefighter that did the funniest or the stupidest thing that year, it make it a lot of fun to see who's in the running for it through out the year, just wanted to know if you do or if you do something similar.

We do a powerpoint Roast at our annual party. We try to give stupid awards to as many people as possible. We give worst spelling, most naps, etc. We have pictures to accompany the awards as well. We even gave a firefighter of the year to our Rescue Randy on year since we did not feel anyone had earned it.

Our Department doesn't yet but our station has the "dog bone" award that is passed along to whoever does something stupid, funny or just plain idiotic. and befroe the bone goes to that person a funny saying is written on it with a marker telling a quick story about what happened to earn it. the only way to get rid of the bone is for someone else to do something to earn it.

In our department this would be a hard award to give, because at some point in time through out the year we all do something stupid. Either at the station or on scene. Mostly at the station when we are cleaning up or doing some type of training. I like the dog bone idea though that might work better for us here. Would be kind of fun to see who gets the awards and for what stupid act they did.
