Once there was a man who hated fire trucks.
"I hate ALL emergency vehicles," he said. "They are expensive and most of the time they just sit around. If there is a fire, I can hire some foreign workers to put it out in another country, where labor is $1 an hour."
One day, he woke up to the sound of sirens. There was a fire truck in front of every house on his block!
"This is so wasteful!" he grumbled angrily, and went outside to confront the scandal.
He went up to the first fire engine and demanded an explanation.
"The owner of this house had a heart attack," said the fire chief. "With no-one to keep up the payments, the house burst into flames."
He went up to the second fire engine.
"The owners of this house was a young couple, both employed," said the fire chief "When one of them lost their job, the house burst into flames."
He went up to the third fire engine.
"The owner of this house was a dummy," said the fire chief. "When he couldn't re-sell it at any price, the house burst into flames."
The man was enraged at this waste of taxpayer dollars by unionized government workers. "None of this is helping ME! I demand that you stop putting out these fires!"
"Ok," said the fire chief, and the fire trucks drove away.
The fires spread throughout the neighborhood. The man's own house caught fire and burned down.
MORAL: If you don't help your neighbors in an emergency, you're a dumbshit.
