Italian firefighters:One night in the small town of Garfield , NJ, a fire started inside the local sausage factory. In a blink the building was engulfed in flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.
When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All of our secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to be saved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out and delivers them to me."But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer to extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000 to the fire department that could save them.Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the fire engine of the nearby Lodi , NJ volunteer fire department composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65.To20everyone 's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Italian firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the plant, and drove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time, the Lodi old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes.The grateful sau sage company president joyfully announced that for such a superhuman accomplishment he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave elderly Italian firefighters.A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The 'on camera' reporter asked the Italian fire chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?""Wella," said Chief Pasquale De Luccinellavanti, the 70-year-old fire chief, "de fursta tinga we gonnna do isza fixa de brakes on dat fockinna truck
A young BLONDE was driving through the Florida Everglades while on vacation.
She wanted to take home a pair of genuine Alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the young Blonde declared, 'Well then, maybe I'll just go
out and catch my own alligator and get a pair of shoes for free!'
The shopkeeper said with a sly smile, Well little lady, why don't you go on and give it a try?'
The blonde headed off to the swamp, determined to catch an alligator.
Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he spots the same young woman standing waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand.
As he brings his car to a stop, he sees a huge nine foot gator swimming rapidly toward her.
With lightning reflexe s, the blonde takes aim, shoots the creature and hauls it up onto the slippery bank.
Nearby were seven more dead gators, all lying belly up.
The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement.
The blonde struggles mightily and manages to flip the gator onto its back.
Rolling her eyes heavenward, she screams in frustration,
The parts of the body were having a fight one day over who was boss of the body.
The brain said "I'm boss of the body because without me, the body can't function."
The heart said "I'm boss of the body because I pump the blood to the brain so it can work."
The lungs said "We're boss of the body because without us giving oxygen to the body it can't work."
The other parts of the body were saying they were boss because of this reason and because of that reason.
Then the little a**hole popped up and said "I'M boss of the body."
The other body parts laughed at the little a**hole..."You??--boss of the body??--yea right!!"
The little a**hole got mad and tightened up and wouldn't let anything out.
After a few days, the brain wasn't feeling so good, the heart felt a little ill and the rest of the body was a bit sick.
Finally the rest of the body said "OK!! OK!! We give, the a**hole is the boss of the body."
What's the moral of this story??
Ya don't have to be a brain to be a boss.....just an a**hole!!

A 1st grade class took a field trip to the fire station. While they were there, the firemen taught them all about smoke alarms, what to do in case of a fire, and let them try on the gear. After all that fun, the firemen took them into the bay and showed them all the apparatus. As all the kids are crawling all over the engine, the truck, the tender, and the squad, little Billy stands off to one side just staring at the truck, thinking how neat it would be to get to drive it. As he's staring, he notices standing next to him is the Truck Lt. He reaches up, and pulling on the Lt's pantleg, says, "hey mr. fireman?" The Lt looks down at Billy and says, "yes, son, what can I help you with?" Billy replies,"Mr. Fireman, when I grow up, I wanna be a fireman!" To which the Lt replies," I'm so sorry son, but unfortunately, you can't do both!"
