fire station when he notices a little girl next door in
a little red cart with little ladders hung on the
side and garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.
The little girl is wearing a fireman's helmet and
has the cart tied to a dog and a cat. The firefighter
walks over to take a closer look.
'That's a lovely fire engine,' he says admiringly.
'Thanks,' says the little girl.
The fireman looks closer and notices the little girl
has tied one of the cart's strings to the dog's collar
and one to the cat's testicles.
'Little colleague,' says the firefighter, 'I don't want
to tell you how to run your fire engine, but if you
were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think
you could probably go a lot faster.'
The little girl pauses for a moment, looks at the wagon,
at the dog and at the cat, then shyly looks into the
fireman's eyes and says
'You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have
a f**king siren, would I?'
