Maybe I should be a fireman.

Beats the hell out of being a cop....

Not quite as good a deal as being a layabout though...

[mrrobotpants]

well.. being a layabout is the dream ideal life. But I need money to do that properly. It feels like being a fireman is spending most of the time being a layabout... which I like.

Plus who in there right mind doesn't like a fireman.

...Cops on the otherhand...

You will get no argument from me on this point...
Our firemen work 9 days per month (24 hour shifts) and sleep and watch tv for a decent portion of those hours...
Most of them have second jobs as a result of all the time they have off.
Sounds perfect for you....
May require a haircut though.....hmmmm

See... tv and sleeping sounds... pretty fuckin' great. And my second job would be layabout painter/music type/video gamer. I'd enjoy that life.

And I can just slick back my hair like the Baldwin in Backdraft. And then someone can write a movie about me in a troop of guido firemen.

I thought about it too, then realized that its nearly impossible to get a job as one.

Hmmm... maybe I could start on the volunteer unit. I just watched a king of the hill about that. There was much wackiness involved. And I'm pro-wacky.

I've always wanted to steer the rear of a long, hinged fire truck

Firemen rescue people from burning buildings, and put out fires.

I think you're thinking of arsonist.

Right right. I always get those two confused. I blame Bradbury.

You would just laugh at everyone who needed saving.

[mrrobotpants]

Not if they had cute little animals that needed saving. Nothing pulls my heartstrings more than cute little animals in distress.

No bunny rabbit would suffer during my watch.
