Default Joke of the day ...
If you're sitting on a bus, how do you know the guy sitting next to you is a fireman?






He'll tell you .....

W1E = West Engine No.1

I was raised in Lindenhurst, LI & all of the townships were/are volunteer firemen.
Lindenhurst is 2 towns East of the Amityville Horror Town(about 10 miles), & they are still run by Volunteers.

it is also the term used for the closer of the team and "Big Lee" Smith once one of the best around and is currently third on the all time saves list only lead by Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. He is also in his 13th year on the HOF ballot and deserves to be in the Hall as he was the dominant closer in his era.

Closing is important. After checking out his career stats he definitely deserves strong consideration.

I'm pretty thick skinned, but I call low blow. Unless of course you are a firefighter and then I might agree.

That's interesting - all the firemen that I've met in Seattle & Tacoma are very humble. I walked by the Belltown fire station every day, and here in Tacoma there is a fire station right next to the coffee shop - really great guys at both places, always welcoming and friendly with everyone. Right up there with astronauts and cowboys.

+1...I think Herb is a wannabe firefighter.
