Funny acronyms

[Waterboy620]

I appologize if this is out of place and not posted at the right time, but I feel like making a few giggles. Its good to laugh, especially during an emotional time like this. So here goes, and don't take it personally, Im just trying to spread some joy.

Acronyms are funny, especially the ones I have. Well, thats to be debated but here is a list on my favorites. Feel free to add to the list.

CHAOS - Chief Has Arrived On Scene

EMT - Extra Man on the Truck

ECA - Equpiment Carrying A** hole

TMB - Too Many Birthdays (old folks home)

NFPA - No FUC*ing Practical Application

Survive Air - Surprise Air (because its is a 'surprise' when air comes out of the second stage regulator)

PIERCE - (the R is silent)

OK so I dont have alot. But at least one of them had to crack a smile. Keep your heads up and continue to do the job you are paid (or not) to do. The last thing I want the crap eating people who did this is to see us down and out. And for Gods sake call your mother. This is twice as hard on them as it is on us.
