Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
My dad and my brother were career firefighters for over twenty years. I lost my dad in 1994 after a heart attack, and I lost my brother to cancer in 2006 while he was still an active firefighter.
I began my EMS career in 1981 and let the family tradition of eating smoke fall to the wayside, until recently.

The following is from a scene in the movie Super Troopers, I do believe that you could change the names of those involved and use it around your place of employment....

Police Chief Grady: I will have the enchilada platter with two tacos and no guacamoles. Smy?
Officer Smy: Yeah, chief. I'll have a CHINCHILLA!
Rabbit: I don't get it. Tacos?
Thorny: They think I'm Mexican.
Rabbit: You're not Mexican?
