Whamo

So I am sitting in the Pickup at Goodwill
Last night and I witness a lady back her car
into another car then speed off and Who do you
think got the plate #, and found the little old lady
that owned the car that got hit , and then helped
her call P.D. yes it was Public savant fyremandoug.
First officer on scene was Officer Tall drink O water
Who I have known for a long time, he was in my
son’s Guard Unit. Well he says “fyreman did you
witness the incident and I said “why yes I did”
my plate # was a little off but they used a partial and
description and said does this look like the driver,
and a pic pops up on his laptop in his cruiser .
“Why yes , yes it is” says I and shazam they
have said jackrabbit, It pisses me off when someone
doesn’t do the right thing and splits a scene.
It just is not right

Little old lady said “I can’t believe someone
Would take the time to help me”

Its just the right thing to do.

Peace
fyreman

Father - Daughter Talk

H/T to Mark "the Bastard" Newman


Father - Daughter Talk

A young woman was about to finish her first year
of college. Like somany others her age, she
considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat,
and among other liberal ideals, was very much in
favor of higher taxes to support more government
programs, in other words, redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather
staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed.
Based on the lectures that she had participated in
and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that
her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish
desire to keep what he thought should be his.One
day she was challenging her father on his opposition
to higher taxes on the rich, and the need for more
government programs. The self-professed objectivity
proclaimed by her professor had to be the truth, and
she indicated so to her father.He responded by asking
how she was doing in school.Taken aback, she answered
rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him
know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she
was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly
studying, which left her no time to go out and party
like other people she knew. She didn't even have time
for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college
friends either because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened, then asked, "How is your friend
Audrey doing?"She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by.
All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and
she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus;
college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the
parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for
classes because she's too hung over."Her father asked
her, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him
to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend
Audrey, who onlyhas a 2.0? That way you will both have
a 3.0 GPA, and certainly that would be a fair and equal
distribution of GPA."The daughter, visibly shocked by
her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a
crazy idea! How would that be fair? I've worked really
hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a
lot of hard work. And she's done next to nothing toward
her degree. She played while Iworked my tail off!"
The father slowly smiled and said gently,

"Welcome to the Republican Party."

PLEASE READ TO THE BOTTOM.......THAT IS WHERE THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT IS !!!!
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER



THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:Sheriff Joe Arpaio(In Arizona )who created the" Tent City Jail":
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.

Took away their weights.

Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then He Started Chain Gangs For Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.

He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order that Required Cable TV For Jails. So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel. When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.

He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.When the inmates complained, he told them, "This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton.If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.

"He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.


With Temperatures Being Even HotterThan Usual In Phoenix(116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the Associated Press Reports:About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent EncampmentAt TheMaricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued Pink Boxer Shorts.On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS. "It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,"Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. "It's Inhumane."

Joe Arpaio,the tough-guy sheriffwho created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic
He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too,And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear,But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes, So Shut Your Damned Mouths!" Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders.

Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.
