That embodies all there is about a 'whacker shirt".. and I as a true "Gonzo firefighter" wouldn't be caught dead wearing one!

So, to make the whacker world-class wardrobe complete, the following shirts should be in the collection:
1. The Gonzo Shirt
2. We Fight What You Fear
3. World's Greatest Firefighter
4. I gave my Fire Department twenty five years of my Life and all I got was this stupid shirt...
5. First In / Last Out
6. The person wearing this shirt is a firefighter. Now, lay back and do what the nice firefighter tells you...
7. Feel safe - sleep with a firefighter tonight...
OK, I'll close my bureau now...
Now, if the significant other has underwear that says "Chief for the night", does that make her a whacker too???

Now, if the significant other has underwear that says "Chief for the night", does that make her a whacker too???
Oh, I certainly hope so

Genius has its limits, but stupidity is boundless.
Now, if the significant other has underwear that says "Chief for the night", does that make her a whacker too???
Um..........If you know what is good for you, you'll realize that she is the chief ALL the time.
The sooner you realize this, the less painful your life will be.

There is a brother Firefighter/Paramedic named Mark Johnson who works for the Auburn FD and UMass Medical Center. Mark used to work for Patriot Ambulance, our paramedic EMS provider and is one hell of a nice guy.
His wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy and may face further surgery.
His brothers in the Auburn FD and at UMass are raising funds to help the Johnson family defray expenses. Mark recently got appointed to Auburn, and on a probie salary things are tough.
The Johnsons have three young children, ages 8, 7 and 5.
I'll get the information for the fundraising efforts and post it here as soon as I get it.
You guys raise at least $1000 for Mark and his family and buy the shirt (size XL), I will wear it and post a pic here for all to see.
If I am going to compromise my principals, I am going to do it for a worthy cause!
