Italian Firemen

One dark night in the small town of Garfield, NJ, a fire started inside
the
local sausage factory. In a blink the building was engulfed in flames.
The
alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.
When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the
sausage
company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All of our secret
sausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must
be
saved. "Iwill donate $50,000 to the fire department that brings them
out and
delivers them to me."
But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire
departments
had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the
firemen
arrived, the president shouted out that the offer to extricate the
secret
recipes was now $100,000 to the fire department that could save them.
Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck
came
into sight. It was the fire engine of the nearby Lodi, NJ volunteer
fire
department composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65.
To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by
these
Italian firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the plant, and
drove straight into the middle of the inferno.
Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old
timers
jumped off and began to fight the fire with a performance that was as
if
they were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time, the
Lodi
old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes.
The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such
a
superhuman accomplishment he was upping the reward to $200,000, and
walked
over to personally thank each of the brave elderly Italian
firefighters.
A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The on
camera
reporter asked the Italian fire chief, "What are you going to do with
all
that money?"
"Wella," said Chief Pasquale De Luccinellavanti, the 70-year-old fire
chief,
"de fursta tinga we gonnna do isza fixa uppa de brakes on dat fockinna
truck!!"

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps
