OK, firstly, I aint in NSW so that moots your crew point...in SA we load up our trucks for response and as we have a large amount of COUNTRY FIRE SERVICE 4wd vehicles, they only have SINGLE wheels on the rear drive....
(this is my story anyway!)

secondly...try this for size...

There are six wheels, four men and two main outlets on a fire engine.

Six and Four and two makes 12.

There are 12 inches in a ruler.

Queen Elizabeth is a ruler.

The Queen Elizabeth was a ship.

Ships sail in the sea.

The sea has fish.

Fish have fins.

The Finns are always fighting the Russians.

Russians are known as "red".

Fire engines are always rushin', and that's why they're red.



still red shonky, still red!!

(how'd I go?)

three last night, some this morning...sorry I got a heap recently!!

Getting a new deputy
The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer - who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket went in to try out for the job.

"Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?"

"11" he replied.

The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right."

"What two days of the weekstart with the letter 'T'?"

"Today and tomorrow."

He was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.

"Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"

Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know."

"Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?"

So, Gomer wandered over to the pool hall where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant.

"It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

Catch a drunk driver
Two outback lads, Dazza and Pete, were driving down the road drinking a couple of bottles of bundy.

The passenger, Dazza, said "Geez Mate, Look up ahead, Pete, it's a police roadblock!! We're gonna get busted for drinkin' these here bundys!!"

"Don't worry, Dazza," Pete said. "We'll just pull over and finish drinkin' these bundys then peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads, and throw the bottles under the seat."

"What for?", asked Dazza.

"Just let me do the talkin', OK?," said Pete.

Well, they finished their beers, threw the empties out of sight & put label on each of their foreheads.

When they reached the roadblock, the Police Officer said, "You boys been drinkin'?"

"No, sir," said Pete while pointing at the labels. "We're on the patch."

Traffic was backed up for miles, the police were going car to car. When they got to my car I asked the officer what was going on.

He said "It's Kevin RUDD. He's up there threatening to douse himself in petrol and set himself on fire because of the deep and dark debt he has got us all into! We are going car to car collecting donations."

"Donations!" I said, "How much you got so far?"

He said "Oh, about a hundred litres."

Policemen in Heaven

St Peter is standing at heaven's gate when a man walks up.

"Welcome to heaven my son. What did you do with your life?"

"I was a policeman," he responded.

"What kind of policeman?" St Peter asked.

"I was a vice officer. I kept dangerous narcotics out of the hands of kids."

"Wonderful my son, welcome to heaven. Pass through the gates."

A few moments later a second man walks up.

"Welcome to heaven my son. What did you do with your life?"

"I was a policeman," he responded.

"What kind of policeman?" St Peter asked.

"I was a traffic officer. I kept the roads and highways safe for travelers."

"Well done. Pass through the gates into paradise."

A few moments later a third man walks up.

"Welcome to heaven my son. What did you do with your life?"

"I was a policeman," he responded.

"What kind of policeman?" St Peter asked.

"I was a Military Policeman, Sir."

"Excellent my son, I have to leave for a bit, watch the gate will you?"
