OK, this one is almost too easy, and thanks to my friends who passed it along. Where do we begin. A fire chief has been suspended for his role in a refusing to remove a pair of plastic testicular replicas (aka Bumpernuts) from one of his fire trucks.
Chief Donald Fee of the Freeport (New York) Fire Department was suspended for 30 days by Freeport Mayor Andrew Hardwick. He was originally told to remove the Bumpernuts in September, but apparently the item (or items) were merely relocated to the cab where they were still visible.
The mayor was quoted as saying the Bumpernuts were “offensive, insensitive and unprofessional”.
Here is a photo of the offending article:
We’ve always joked about setting a pair way up under the tailboard of our engine. 15 years ago, yeah no problem, today you can’t even spit out the cab without offending someone. Society has turned into one big Oprah crying show of sensitivity.
Of course I know why he was suspended, look around at the world we live in. Pretty soon we will all look the same, act the same and never step out of line.
