The Great Northern Blaze
"in the northern forests of alberta on one of those hot summer days two local al-pac logger boys spotted a raging fiery blaze it was brad the brawny newfie boy and robert the burly swede they were the only ones in sight so they knew they had to speed with extinguishers and axe in hand and a few jugs of bottled water they ran into the billowing smoke where things got even hotter the flames raced across the treetops they knew it was not a good sign but they chopped and trenched until at last they established a fire line with no water-bombers in sight no sign of rain or showers they battled that fiery forest for what had seemed like hours they boxed that big fire in and then they began to toil by covering all the fallen trees with mother natures' damp top-soil newfie pulled his zipper down and like a water spout he began to pass water to put the small flames out the swede seen this performance and he promptly did the same for he knew it was the only way to quench that hungry flame they stood side by side together grasping their poor burnt members and squeezed out the last few drops to extinguish the remaining embers the smoke reached the stratosphere then a putrid steam did rise it blacked out the western world and blinded eastern eyes their hair was singed, their bodies burnt they could not even perspire for they'd used all of their bodily fluids, you see to extinguish that massive fire they emerged from the smoke and ash and they still felt very perky but they looked like newfie smoked meat and shriveled up swedish jerky they both performed an heroic deed but their day had just begun for now they had to drive their trucks and make a log haul run they wanted to stay and investigate and solve this vicious crime but they really had to rush to make their scheduled loading time now these two lads are humble they will not brag or boast for they'll tell you how they got burnt was a little weenie roast so let us all give gracious thanks for they surely saved our nation for this they received logo'ed duffle bags and some letters of commendation " Submitted By: NULL
