The Fire
One night in a sleepy town,  the chemical plant explodes into flames.
The alarm goes out and fire units from miles around race to the scene.
After fighting the fire for over an hour the chemical company president
approaches the fire chief,

"All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the centre of the plant.
They must be saved!  I will give $50,000 to the fire unit that brings 
them out safely!"

With this the firemen attack with a renewed gusto. Two hours later they
still have not gained any ground.  With this the company president offers
$100,000 to the fire unit that brings out the company's secret files.
In the distance a lone siren is heard and soon another fire truck comes into
sight. The fire chief realizes that it is the little rinky-dink volunteer fire
unit composed entirely of men over 65. Much to his amazement the fire engine 
races through the chemical plant gates and drives right into the middle of the 
inferno.  He can see these old timers hopping off their rig and fighting the fire 
with an effort that he has never seen before.

Less than an hour later the fire is out and the secret formulas have been
saved by this group of volunteers! The chemical company president is so ecstatic he 
doubles the reward to $200,000!  After thanking the volunteers the chemical company 
president can't help but ask what they will do with the reward money.
The engineer (driver) looks him right in the eye...

"The first thing we'll do is fix the fucking brakes on that truck!"
