Fire engine

Here's something for ya. I thought this was pretty funny.

> A fire fighter is working on the engine outside the station when he
> notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little
> ladders hanging off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the
> middle.
>
> The girl is wearing a fire fighter's helmet. The wagon is being pulled
> by her dog and her cat. The fire fighter walked over to take a closer
> look.
>
> "That sure is a nice fire truck," the fire fighter says with admiration.
>
> "Thanks" the girl says... The fire-fighter looks a little closer and
> notices the girl has tied the wagon to her dog's collar and to the
> cat's t***cles.
>
> "Little Partner", the fire fighter says, "I don't want to tell you how
> to run your rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's
> collar too, I think you could go faster."
>
> The little girl replies thoughtfully, "You're probably right, but then
> I wouldn't have a siren....

I can dig that one, shorty.

That is funny.  AND I could understand it.

This story suddenly reminds me of a time as a kid when I was wrestling with my dad. You see, he had this appetite for kid arms. Sometimes at the the dinner table, he'd take his fork and stab my arm to check it's tenderness and ask if it was ready yet. So we're wrestling, and he chomps on my arm. One of our cats happened to be lying next to me on the couch, and after a couple bites followed by me yelling, she started biting my hand or other arm close to her. He'd bite, I'd yell, she'd bite. It got to be very funny, and I wasn't sure if it was that she was cueing off my dad (seemingly apparent by her pause, look at my dad, then bite), that I was yelling close to her ear, or both.

the first joke i got. but i didnt catch the punchline to your second joke...

[Chris G]

It would have been a better tie-in if the cat had been biting your t***cles.

You do strange things with your kitty. Actually, it wasn't a joke, it was just a funny story, somewhat tangentially referenced.

and the weird things your dad to you might explain a few things. stabbing you with a fork, biting your arm...

Obviously I was jokingly responding to his kitty joke. That other peoples' dads didn't play with them an all is just too bad. (Mine - and sometimes my mom, too - still calls me by kid nicknames, in public even.)
