Wackeritis

[Bushwhacker]

I need not explain disease as we all know what it is, the effects, and symptoms. But what i do need to know is how to Remove it. The advice, suggestions, warnings, verbal lashings, and beatings have done nothing, and I am starting to worry if I can salvage this individual. Any advice?

If you can't harness it - amputate it.

It's actually very easy to cure.

First, tie the individual down to a chair securely.


Next, remove all pagers, scanners, blue lights, etc. from the person and place in a pile. This includes decals, signs, hidden lights on their POV. Using a bulldozer, paver, whatever, run over the pile of items while the individual watches.

Then, have their wife, girlfriend, significant other gather up all of their clothes, toys, die casts, posters, personal posessions, etc that has anything to do with firefighting. Place it in a pile, and while the wacker watches from his chair, pour lighter fluid over it all and toss a match.

Next, program their television not to receive any wacker-related programming.

And lastly, have the wife, children, parents, significant other re-introduce themselves to the wacker.

If the above does not work, we have additional, alternative methods that involves voltage and body parts.

I'm actually curious what examples (or signs & symptoms) of Wackeritis the individual exhibits? This may gauge the level of "cure".

True. Knowing how far gone this individual is will help a "cure" be developed specifically for him.

What if they have an antique pumper out in the garage behind the house??? Oh...shiznit, never mind I said that.

FWD ... I have come to many conclusions about you, however, I am now 100% convinced that you would make a terrible therapist.

Well there you go, You've done gone and told on yourself Brother!

But like they use to say on the Old GI JOE cartoons, "Now You Know and Knowing is Half the Battle!"

BTW If/when you have time, How about another picture of that Beautiful Truck.

About as good a therapist as a former USMC Drill Instructor.

[LaFireEducator]

Something tells me you probably wouldn't even give them a tissue ....

[BULL321]

But Yellow is my favorite Color!

[FiremanLyman]

The cure is in you and others. Set an example of professionalism, I bet this individual is following an example from a mentor that he respects.

[ChiefKN]

Usually a drill or any real work will cause temporary relief.

DO NOT FIGHT IT!!

Go with the feeling. Being a wacker, farkle, buff, spark, or whatever regional name your area uses, is a positive thing. Well unless you are a wacked wacker. Then it is bad.
