There was a Texas oil tycoon who was watching his largest oil well going
up in flames.
He called in the best fire fighting equipment money could
buy but there was no way they could get close enough to the intense
flames to reach them with their water hose.
Finally, out of desperation,
he called the local volunteer fire department.
They chugged up in their
1946 truck and passed every one of the state of the art rigs and headed
toward the center of the fire. They
stopped, jumped out, sprayed each other down with water, and then
proceeded to put out the fire.
When they were finally finished, the
millionaire was so impressed with the crew's dedication and bravery, he
awarded the chief with a check for $10,000.
Later, a reporter asked the
chief what he was going to do with the money.
The chief replied, "Well,
the first thing we're going to do is fix those lousy brakes!!"
EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
