wasnt this greenlit a couple weeks ago?

YEP.. SOMEONE MESSED UP.

Submitter fined for not reading his Fark regularly.

wtf? Guy just purged it on his lawn instead of the street. Whats the big deal?

The terrorists have won.

WOW, Deja vu all over again!!

They keep fire water tanker trucks empty, usually?

He did it again?! Wow, what a dumbass.

Oh wait...

Ok, let's all farking say 'repeat' at once. And, can we race to see who posts a Simpson's pic first? Or let's all say '/got nothin'

Yeah.. I definitely recall this.. from quite some time ago..

Too bad W won't be fined for using the entire US military to fight his personal war.

HA HA!


/got nothin

I think he should get a medal. Though I bet it would have helped his chance to water the whole neighborhood. Selfish prick.

He shoulda washed the buses...

...but, at least Spidey's happy!

This article wins an award for taking a hilarious situation and making it not hilarious.

This could set a precedent.

Next thing you know, the president could be fined for using Air Force One to take vacations.

Well, maybe not.

Thing is, I have a friend who is a firefighter, and they have to crank up the trucks every now and then, and they have to drive them around to keep them in shape and make sure they are in working order. They also have to use the pumps every now and then to make sure they work.. etc.

There was absolutely no harm in what this firefighter did.

Later in the article it states that the local elementary school was on fire as he was watering his lawn. Maybe that is where all the fuss is?
/umm just kidding?

Reagan Smash

I don't understand why they would charge him for the water that would have been wasted anyway.

Must...not...post...HA! HA! guy...mocking...fireman..........

/there should be one day a year when anyone can post the ha! ha! guy without being banned

Executive Monkey
Where can I find that graphic?

The water should be changed and the pump needs to be used to keep the truck in shape.
What if the water had been sitting long enough that rust, algae and other nice things would cause the tanker to fail during an emergency?
The lawn watering may not be the best use but at least the truck will be refilled and the operator will know that the truck works.

It is dangerous to drive a partially filled tanker truck at highway speeds as the water sloshes. I am on a volunteer fire department and we always run our tanker either full or empty. Many times we dump a partial tank when the tanker is no longer needed and refill on a preconnected line at the station. Pulling a line, hooking up to a nearby hydrant, filling the tanker, then unhooking and rolling the line is unnecessary work.

Was it this guy?

Yay, another repeat. But still:

The lawn watering may not be the best use

Heck of a lot better than letting it run into the sewers, which was the only acceptable option as I read it. I heart bureaucracy.

didnt this have a "dumbass" one instead of a stupid one last time

What?
