I wasn't quite sure which forum to put this story in, so I apologise if it is of no use here.
This morning at approximately 0800 my retained alerter went off. I being quite lazy was in bed, as usual. I got dressed into my standard fire service working rig as is the newly installed procedure (pah! don't get me started) and started the minute or so sprint to the station.
My route takes me across a small recreation ground, in which many people walk their dogs. I have to check for dog mess while running, but that was not a problem today. The morning dog walkers were acting strange. Usually they say nice things like "hello" and "good luck!" and the younger members say things like "neenaw! neenaw!". This morning they were pointing at me. They never usually point at me.
Then I felt a draught. Down below.
My manhood was available for all to see. Luckily there were no children walking dogs today.
The moral of this story, is always check your flies before attanding fire calls. Or leaving your house.

hose at the ready....
-
No sirens that day then, just the flashing beacons!
-
Would have been worse if you had been wearing the missus' lacy pants! (again?)
-
At least they wern't pointing and laughing.
-
did you make a turnout fee?
-
There have been a few too many 'firemans pole' comments in the park today.
-
You should be flattered it was noticeable!
-
Theres yet another excuse I need to avoid running or any form of excercise.
As proven, running can cause over exposure!
-
....... Luckily there were no children walking dogs today........
Was it the children or the dogs you were most worried about?
-
Well Wiz, I don't think I can get locked up for showing my sausage to dogs...
-
Toby,
You'd be begging to be locked up with a pack of hungry dogs chasing you cos' you'd teased 'em with a sausage :)

More like a chipolata on that day I'm afraid.
