i had lunch yesterday with my friend's brother who is in the new york fire academy. his tales of hazing, tears and 4am 5-mile runs made us look at him in awe and, in turn, shamed us. we paperpushers are such whiny wusses.
he was told that he should not bring any valuables with him when he's permanently placed in a fire station (fire company? who knows) because, get this, the other firefighters will set your shit on fire as a part of your initiation. huh? then he told us that sometimes the other firefighters will attempt to test your mettle by setting YOU on fire.

Setting other people on fire? Maybe Bush'll sign up after he's done with this Presidency stuff.
Ooh! My brother just started working for the FDNY! Maybe he knows your friend!
