Why do we park on a driveway, and drive on a parkway?

[Guest alsfirefighter]

Well if it all goes as I planned I'll be looking good in my Marine Dress Blue uniform strutting around in heaven.

As far as the Parkway/driveway thing...we asked a similiar question as a teaser in a fire academy class and one probie not only found the answer he downloaded audio to explain it.

Good one on the baby oil never thought of it that way I got a good chuckle.

Don't know about the bra thing...but I don't really care either.

Twinkle twinkle...nice brain teaser and they are close...until you have to cite "L M N O P" slowly.

Wow I can't believe I sat here thinking of my kid singing the alphabet...nice post VAC!

Actually Cap, you may drown, but you may also freeze to death. Liquid oxygen is 200 plus degrees BELOW ZERO.

What a totally wasted post, I thought this forum was to discuss Emergency services, be it PD, FD, or EMS

WHAT A TOTALLY WASTED POST,I thought this forum was to discuss Emergency services, be it PD,FD, orEMS

What we can't have a good laugh now and then? No offense but I think you need to lighten up a bit! I think this was a great post.

What I think is funny is, if the moderator's DON'T step in, and tell people this is not a worthy post, then apparently this is the reaction we get.

But now let's say a moderator DOES step in and put a squash on it, then people yell that we are too controlling. Funny how that works.

You definitely do need to lighten up! This post is exactly where it should be, in the Lounge. That is what this setion is for, NON FD, PD, EMS items. And yes humor has its plce here. You need to check the Readers Digest--- they even have a section called "Laughter, the best medicine"!

Hey I have a question, what movie was it that they showed the divers, going to deeper depths with Liquid Oxygen?

Was that real or was it BS?

The movie was The Abyss (Abyss).

They weren't breathing liquid oxygen. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_breathing for more info on fluid breathing.

Jared Thanks

Certainly not 02 as Jared pointed out - O2 is CNS toxic above a partial pressure of approx 1.6 atm. It's the LAST thing you want when diving deep!

Jared Thanks

My pleasure Chief.

[Guest alsfirefighter]

Sure Jared don't take the time to post the answer to the driveway vs. parkway question...I know you know the answer..lol. Just kidding and great job in RTB dude.

Parkways were so dubbed because they were generally built to allow access from urban areas to parks. Palisades takes you along the palisades system to Bear Mtn. Etc. Sprain Brook/Taconic multiple parks as well.

Driveways tended to be long from the street to get access to houses during farming eras.

I've also read where it is a matter of the english language, but I don't have time to get into that and most of us don't use actual proper phonetical english. Know what I be sayin' booooyyyyy.

Also I came up with another question:

Why do they call them "buildings" shouldn't it be "builting" I mean they do finish "building" them right

Why is there an expiration date on "sour" cream?

and finally two of my personal favorites....

What exactly was better before sliced bread....before they had "sliced bread?" AND

If you were to choke a smurf....what color would they turn?

A darker BLUE! Or purple from being unconscious (if I spelled that right)!

But why would you want to choke a smurf anyways?
