Stereotypes

Ok we have all heard them

"Firefighters are Whores and Drunks ......"

I have personally be called things I wish not to repeat based on my job, how did these rumors start ? I am aware that the Fire Service is very family orientated. For fun what is the stereotype you hate the most ?

My brother lives in Edinboro... so I am flying in - boarding down, be there in a few hours :-) and bringing my appetite...

and yeah I think you probably get paid in gold bars or something the way you talk with glee about it - so I was thinking you were taking me to dinner in Italy or Paris with your great wealth.

don't knock the lengths someone will go through for a good meal and good company

Not exactly getting paid in gold bars, Heather, but the checks are definitely cause for glee every other Thursday.

Personally, I though maybe she is a human compost pile....used to funky odors.
Old vegetables go in.....compost falls out. For all we know her surgery could have been a c-section birth of a 15 lb. maggot.
