A firefighter was working on the engine outside the station when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon
with little ladders hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.

The girl was wearing a firefighter's helmet. The wagon was being pulled by her dog and her cat. The firefighter
walked over to take a closer look. "That sure is a nice fire truck," the firefighter said with admiration.

"Thanks," the girl replied.

The firefighter looked a little closer and noticed the girl had tied the wagon to her dog's collar and to the cat's testicles.

"Little Partner," the fire fighter said, "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, I think it could go faster."

The little girl replied thoughtfully, "You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a siren."

Nice composition and wonderful detail/texture (especially near the bottom of the handle). Cute joke too :)

Neat shot, Mark. It does bring back memories. (Poor kitty, though!!)

ROFL!!! Great joke. Love the wagon. Looks very much like the one I have in the backyard.
Rusty and well used. :D

One of my "fond" memories of the Radio Flyer is probably a story best left untold. But I will say the road rash healed fully!
