I'll just ruminate a bit till I get PERMANENTLY BANNED FOREVER + 3 YEARS.
Ain't like I haven't been run off by a woman or 2 in the past, so I can survive rejection and the doghouse.
Besides, somebody needs to disabuse youngsters of misinformation you seem to hold.
The Great Ambulance Race-
Junior might have been a big fan of Nathan Bedford Forest, if you allow yourself to believe he ever read a book, and could understand what he read. "He who gets there firstest with the mostest generally wins" was one of the 2 phrases he remembered, and spouted every chance he had. It as odd considering every car, including the 2 rental hearses sitting under bedsheets he'd purloined and had sewn together for paint protection had a Tackograph to make sure nobody went over the speed limit. It was completely within company policy to roar headlong into oncoming traffic with lights & both sirens going, until the battery failed. Junior himself had determined it more effective than getting cars to move right coming from behind. Some drivers questioned that wisdom, but Junior rarely came out of his office so he really didn't know how we moved cars through traffic.
When all 3 TV stations in town got movie cameras they got on a consumer protection kick, and fortunately one of George's contacts called to enlighten Junior Channel 13 was filming for a piece on the danger of ambulances running across town with lights and sirens. Since the TV 13 guys were out to get us, Junior issued a General Order to minimize siren use. Jimmar who had come to the company with the first motorized ambulance, so the story went, had a few contacts of his own, and an idea. He set a deal up with the photographer from Chanel 10, and squared things away with Cops & the Fire Department for a cross city ambulance race through traffic. Two cars would load a fake patient over at Culver and University, and depart for St Marys with the aid of a cop acting as starter. One would run lights & siren, and the second would just drive with traffic. A second Cop sitting at the Hospital would have 2 stopwatches so trip time was beyond any question. Genuine TV Reporters volunteered to play patient, and a Memo went into Junior's IN box about 27 layers down telling him of the race.
The race went off on schedule with the TV camera riding in the car running lights. Like I said, Jimmar had been around a while, and he and his driver made the ride without lights or siren, nobody bothered to factor in Jimmar and his driver knew every side street and shortcut thru a factory property or parking lot in town. The run was about 5½ miles from Start to Hospital, and never exceded 35 mph. The car running lights and siren got to the Hospital 42 seconds ahead of Jimmar. When all the interviewing and editing ws done, the company got a free TV commercial on the evening News, pointing out how Professional Ambulance crews knew their business and how important it was for cars to pull to the right, after all, it might be your loved one in the Ambulance.
The editor cut the part of the film where Jimmar stepped from his car with coffee for the other crew. Junior even got some face time standing next to one of the green monsters.
Just to save you asking, the coffee was cold. It made the round trip, but it was a magnificent gesture.
