At around 4 o'clock this morning the town siren went off. This is a siren that seems like it has been around before phones were invented. It goes off every now and then when there are emergencies. Supposedly, it gets all the volunteers and firemen to report to the firehouse. Mind you, I am not a fireman. I do not need a siren at 4am on a Sunday morning.
Why after a whole flux of cordless phones, the internet, pagers, and now cell phones does a fucking siren need to be blasting at all hours of the night? I'm sure they all have cell phones and can get the message.
Where I grew up there was a similar sounding siren that they tested everyday at noon because it was near a power plant. They had to test the siren daily to make sure the siren would sound before ou faces began melting off. So everytime I hear this one I jump like nuclear waste is flowing down my street.
So now whenever I am in my town and I see a fireman, I want to punch him in the face. Sure they are heroes, but a hero can use a broken nose every now and then. Fuckers.
