During a big fire downtown the firemen

During a big fire downtown the firemen were having a bit of trouble. A woman was stuck on the fourth floor with her baby. The fire fighters instructed her to toss the child out the window, under which they had placed a net, but the mother refused. Things looked grim until a tall, well-built black man burst through the crowd and shouted to the women. He said that he was a professional football player and that he could catch the baby safely. After a few minutes more of reassurances by the man, the mother finally let the child drop. The football player made a breathtaking catch, and everybody cheered. At that moment the man suddenly raised the child high in the air, spiked it on the ground and yelled, “TOUCHDOWN!!”

A fire broke out in a six story apartment

A fire broke out in a six story apartment building last week in a near by town. A blonde, a redhead, and a brunette escaped the flames by climbing up onto the roof. When the fire department arrived they got out a blanket held it up and the Chief called out to the brunette to jump into the blanket. The brunette jumped. As she was falling ‘swoosh’ the firefighters pulled the blanket away and she landed on the street like a brick. The firefighters then held the blanket back up and the Chief told the redhead to jump. “No way! I saw what you did to my friend.” exclaimed the redhead. “I am sorry” said the Chief, “My wife was a brunette and she divorced me. I just don’t like brunettes. We have no problems with redheads….jump it’s your only chance.” So the redhead jumped. On the way down ‘swoosh’ the firefighters pulled the blanket away and she hit the pavement like a tomato!” The firefighters a gain held up the blanket and the Chief told the blonde to jump. The fire was getting worse and her only chance of survival was to jump. “No I am not jumping. I saw what you did to my two friends.” “I’m sorry” said the Chief, “I explained what happened to the brunette and when the redhead jumped we were a little distracted. It will not happen again, just jump!” The blonde thought for a moment. “OK I’ll jump – but first I want you to lay the blanket on the ground, back away, and then I’ll jump into it.”

A fire started on some grassland near a

A fire started on some grassland near a farm in Indiana. The fire department from the nearby town was called to put the fire out. The fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, so someone suggested that a rural volunteer fire department be called. Though there was doubt that they would be of any assistance, the call was made. The volunteer fire department arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They drove straight towards the fire and stopped in the middle of the flames. The volunteer firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily controllable parts. The farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department’s work and so grateful that his farm had been spared, that he presented the volunteer fire department with a check for $1000. A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds. “That should be obvious,” he responded, “the first thing we’re gonna do is get the brakes fixed on that stupid fire truck.”
