Are you kidding me..."flame-reducers"..."fire-dousers".....Really?

POYET SPRINGS, Calif. — A mayor has sparked outrage by proposing the city's fire department drop the name "firefighter" to describe members, claiming the term "fighter" has negative connotations.

Mayor Shirley U. Jest says there are a number of more politically correct terms that would better reflect the role of fire department members in the 21st century.

Another benefit, she said, is the name change could mean the fire department moves away from the "A-type" personalities it typically attracts.

There's plenty of other letters in the alphabet, so why are fire departments always filled with the same personality-types?" Mayor Jest said.

"I actually prefer to avoid appointing A-types to my office. They can be a little loud and too action-oriented. With the quieter types, it allows me to sit in my office and come up with ideas to make this city better without being bothered with annoyances like inadequate staffing and equipment."

Hysterical. This one is very well written!

The mere fact that it went viral amongst the fire service online community only adds to it's epicness.

It doesn't say much for the reporters who didn't check to see that the city doesn't exist and the mayors name is SHIRLEY U. JEST ...... "I am serious and don't call me shirley "
