Featured in a conversation with William:
Verdict?
Guilty as charged, now what the f*ck do I do?
RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be charged, tried, convicted, and
doubtless hanged. Or shot. Or... well, you
get the picture.

mar (Mark A. Rosenstein):
Volunteers get the job done !
Seems a fire started on some grassland near a farm in Indiana. The
fire department from the near-by town was called to put the fire out.
The fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could
handle. Someone suggested that a rural volunteer fire department be
called. And 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 right there on the
spot 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 damned fire truck."
