Just for Laughs


Anytime my mothering instinct kicks in, I’m always surprised. Jonathan swears up and down I will make an excellent mother – and I admit that there are times I have my doubts, and yet some times….I can see it shining through.

So…last night I was driving Rescue One to go get gas. About halfway there I spotted two young men (too young to be walking alone on the side of the road). I flipped the lights, pulled a U-turn and stopped to ask them what was going on- were they broke down, where were they going…etc. I very calmly called dispatch and let them know what was going on. After talking to 3640 (a deputy) I was on my way. Turns out, both ended up being taken to jail – one was wanted out of another county, and the other seemed to be an accomplice. Soo my mothering instinct has now gotten two juveniles arrested… not quite the goal I had in mind, but at least they aren’t still out on the street!

A man, after being hurt, calls 911 for help.

Man: Operator, operator, call me an ambulance!

Dispatcher: Okay, sir, you’re an ambulance!
