RE: 911:: Killing time...and laughing about it

I think that if we took everything so seriously all the time, we would all

be wooden puppets like Joe Friday. " Just the facts, ma'am. " What we need

to recognize is that we are humans doing a very serious job. A little

levity and lightheartedness and down right humor is needed in order for us

to cope.

I don't believe an apology is necessary. We've all " been there, done that. "

We just hope that when we " go there, do that " that it's not on a recorded

line....:-)
