A fireman is working on the engine outside the station when he notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the side and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.
The girl is wearing a fireman's helmet and has the wagon tied to a dog and a cat. The fireman walks over to take a closer look.
"That sure is a nice fire truck," the fireman says with admiration.
"Thanks," the little girl says.
The fireman looks a little closer and notices the girl has tied the wagon to the dog's collar and to the cat's testicles. "Little partner," The fireman says: "I don't want to tell you how to run your fire truck, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think he could pull more.
The little girl replied: "You're probably right, sir, but then I wouldn't have a siren."
It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.
