So it's still early in your neck of the woods (late in mine), but I'm posting the Stupid Joke of the Day early, in case you log in before the big day. Here's a cutie, with words of wisdom for us all to live by:
As a firefighter for Livonia (MI) Fire & Rescue, one of my job responsibilities is going out into the community to talk to groups about fire safety. One afternoon, I went to talk to a preschool group of about 25 children. Preschool groups are one of our most popular groups, so these presentations are almost “automatic†for me after 20 years in the fire service.
While I usually refrain from calling on preschoolers during the presentation, I do welcome some input when I ask some fairly simple questions, such as the emergency telephone number to call or for fire safety behaviors they usually know.
When I asked the group what they would do if their clothes were on fire, I saw almost every hand go up. Expecting the answer “Stop, Drop and Roll,†I would then demonstrate and give them the opportunity to practice. However, I was laughing uncontrollably when I called on one of the boys. His response to my question about what to do if his clothes were on fire? “I wouldn’t put them on!â€
Best wishes for your day, and we'll be thinking of you.
