Frustrated: Fire crews to hand out fliers for FEMA

"ATLANTA - Not long after some 1,000 firefighters sat down for eight hours of training, the whispering began: "What are we doing here?"

As New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin pleaded on national television for firefighters - his own are exhausted after working around the clock for a week - a battalion of highly trained men and women sat idle Sunday in a muggy Sheraton Hotel conference room in Atlanta.

Many of the firefighters, assembled from Utah and throughout the United States by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, thought they were going to be deployed as emergency workers.

Instead, they have learned they are going to be community-relations officers for FEMA, shuffled throughout the Gulf Coast region to disseminate fliers and a phone number: 1-800-621-FEMA."

*FACEPALM*

Man, I want some of whatever drugs those people are on.

But of course, Mr. Secombe. After all, you would not want to be icon-less in the mating season.

Thank you, thank you! I shall post it at once on my mantelpiece, in a brown paper envelope bearing three fifteen-rupee stamps postmarked June 6, 1853, and addressed care of the Third Foot and Mouth in Rawalpindi.
