Old golf cart now breaths as world’s smallest fire truck

They say where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and where there’s fire, and there are firemen and fire trucks. But I guess just like most other government agencies, fire departments too are looking at ways to lower their carbon footprint. At least that’s what the looks of the world’s smallest fire truck would seem to suggest. Caught on tape in Nobleton, Ontario, Canada, the legit fire truck was fashioned out of an old "people mover" golf cart and is even used by the local fire department in parades and to educate young kids about what the fire department actually does.

According to the firemen who use the truck to educate kids about their line of work, the tiny fire truck is a great educational tool and the kids absolutely love riding in it. Possibly a great way to keep real fire trucks ready for action without breaking little children’s hearts who want to ride in a fire truck, the golf cart fire truck is not really equipped to fight an actual fire though the converted truck can be used in a real emergency to ferry firemen through narrower streets and cramped inner city lanes. Perhaps fire departments in some of the world’s older cities should investigate the design for use in their nick of the woods.

Sitting at home one night with his wife, a man is casually tossing peanuts into the air and catching them in his mouth. As the couple take in the latest episode of their favorite program, the man loses concentration for a split second, and a peanut goes into his ear. He tries to get it out, but succeeds only in forcing the thing in awfully deep.

After a few hours of fruitless rooting the couple decide to go to the hospital, but on their way out of the front door they meet their daughter coming in with her new boyfriend.

The boyfriend takes control of the situation; he tells them he’s studying medicine and that they’re not to worry about a thing. He then sticks two fingers up the man’s nose and asks him to blow, and low and behold, the nut shoots from the ear and out across the room.

As the daughter and her boyfriend go through to the kitchen to get drinks, the man and his wife sit down to discuss their luck.

“So” the wife says, “what do you think he’ll become after he finishes school? A GP or a surgeon?”

“Well,” says the man, rubbing his nose, “by the smell of his fingers, I think he’s going to become our son-in-law.”
