One Memorial Day weekend, we heard the tones and dispatch say "Attention Engine-2, smoke investigation" six different times throughout the day. After the sixth one, the Captain was just as fed up as the rest of us. "Dispatch from Engine-2, Engine-2 is clear, a other Texas bar-b-cue".10/10 badassery and true Americana points. Now all the police gotta do to top it off is by awarding a neatly printed, laminated, and framed "TOWN IDIOT" certificate to the tards who called them, to be displayed on their front lawn so everybody can see it.![]()
We needed that same printed and laminated certificate you speak of.
