A firefighter is working on the engine outside the station when he notices a
little girl riding down the sidewalk in a little red wagon with little ladders
hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The girl is
wearing a firefighters' helmet. The wagon is being pulled by her dog and
her cat.

The firefighter walks out to take a closer look. 'That sure is a nice fire
truck,' he says admiringly.

'Thanks, Mister Fireman,' the girl says.

The firefighter looks a little closer and notices the girl has tied the wagon
to her dog's collar and to the cat's testicles. 'Little partner,' the
firefighter 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, I think you could go faster!'

The little girl replies sweetly, 'You're probably right, but then I wouldn't
have a siren.'
