Ukranian Firefighters

One dark night outside a small town in Alberta, a fire started inside

the

local sausage plant and in a blink it exploded into massive flames.

 

The alarm went out to all the fire departments from miles around.

 

When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage

company president rushed to the fire chief and said, " All of our secret

formulas are in the vault in the centre of the plant.

 

They must be saved and I will give $50,000 to the fire department that

brings them out intact. "

 

But the roaring flames held the firefighters off.

 

Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became

desperate.

 

As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was

now

 

$100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's

secret

 

files.

 

From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came

into

sight.

 

It was the nearby Mundare rural township volunteer fire department

composed mainly of Ukrainians over the age of 65.

 

 

To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by

these Ukrainians, passed all the newer sleek engines parked outside the

plant....and drove straight into the middle of the inferno.

 

Outside the other firemen watched as the Ukrainian old timers jumped

off

 

and began to fight the fire with a performance and effort never seen

before.

 

Within a short time, the Mundare old timers had extinguished the fire

and

saved the secret formulas.

 

The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such

a

superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over

to

 

personally thank each of the brave, though elderly, Ukrainian

firefighters.

 

The local TV news reporters rushed in after capturing the event on film

asking, " What are you going to do with all that money? "

 

" da furst thing ve gonna do is fix da brakes on dat focking truck. "

Goody, good for you. You remind me of my favorite quote:

" Life should NOT be a journey to the grave

with the intention of arriving in an attractive and well preseved body, but

rather

skid in sideways, Chocolate in one hand, Strawberries in the other, body all

used up, toally worn out, and screaming YOOHOO! What a ride! " (((Hugs))) Kaye
