Glad everything was ok. I hope the Driver “Department” doesn’t smell too smokey!
It should smell all smokey, after all it was fully involved in flames, and I think that’s even worse than being fully engulfed in flames!
Those buildings sure could use some paint! Shouldn’t cost too much right? I think that’s the least we could do for one of the first things our tourists see when they deplane, gosh…
It would be a good way to give some out-of-work folks a little income!
I thought the same when i saw the pic above! LOL
yet anotha bold n innovativ idea dats being unfairly treeted as an “emergency”…
toursts nowadayz have short attenshin spans, n constntly need gr8er n gr8er stimulis in orda 2 B satisfied wif there trip 2 bermy. wif thingz like d iPod, iPad, iGrenny n twitter 2 compeet wif, d only thingz keepin tourists intrested in comin herr is d applcation of fresh n excitin ideas on B-half of de dept. of tourism. SO ALL DAT HAPPND HERR wuz a simpl promotional stunt dat de FIRE DEPARTMINT had 2 ruin jus bcuz they r bored of sittin rond all day talkin bout wut there favorte type of flame retardnt is.
NE wayz, my step-auntie Gert-Mugula works up tourism departmint, n wuz tellin me bout dis plan MONTHZ ago. wut dey were TRYIN 2 do b4 dey got interupted by d fire trucks wuz sherr genius. D plan wuz 2 INTENTIONLLY set d truck on fire jus as de Delta flight from new york wuz landin, n let d tourists see it from d plane n get all worried. D captain wuz in on it 2…he wuz gunna say ova d intercom: “OH CHA, LADIEZ N GENTLMEN. CHECK DAT DERR TRUCK ON FIRE…UM GETTN A MESSG FROM D CONTROL TOWER SAYIN DAT ALL U BIES NEED 2 GET OFF D PLANE N HELP PUT IT OUT CUZ ERRYONE WHO WORKS AT D ERRPORT IS ON DERR LUNCH BREAK MASHIN BACK A FET GREEZE”. so wif d passngers terrified out of derr minds, d next part of d plan wuz 2 offload dem rite next 2 d flamin truck n start givin dem buckets of gasoline 2 throw on d fire, makn them think it wuz water, hens causin d flames 2 get MASSIV n scarin dem even more. 4 de next stage of d plan, tourism dept. had a stuntman/actor standin by who wuz gunna run out of de fiery wreckag n scream like he wuz in excrooshiating pain, cryin 4 his Auntie/Grenny/Ace Bird to com rescue him (but no 1 wuz gunna come cuz he wuz actually kewl). at dis point, right when d passngers were about 2 pass out from all d excitemint n commotion, Paula Cox wuz going 2 bust out of a birthday cake wearin a top hat n say “NO BUH, WE GUYZ WERE JUS PLAYIN….WELCOME 2 BERMY!” n then blow a airhorn for half an hour str8 until dey all calmed down n realizd it wuz just a joke.
THIS SIMPL PLAN, HOWEVR, wuz interrupted by d fire departmint. Dey clearly need betta communication wif Tourism so dat this can b avoided in d future. we prolly lost like SHREE million dollaz from dis.
