Link of the Day: This Is Why New York Firemen Are Awesome (True Story)
[High Praise! to Nate]
NYC sends health teams to post-Sandy food handouts, rubbing some wrong way
Excerpt:
Bobby Eustace, an 11-year veteran with the city’s fire department tells FoxNews.com that on Sunday he and his fellow firefighters from Ladder 27 in the Bronx were issued a notice of violation for not maintaining restaurant standards in a tent set up in Breezy Point, Queens, to feed victims and first responders.
“It’s just a little ridiculous. The inspector came up and asked if we were wearing hairnets. I told him, ‘We have helmets. This is a disaster area,’” Eustace told FoxNews.com. “Then he asked is we had gloves and thermometers [for food]. I said, “Yeah, we have rectal and oral. Which one do you want?’ He wasn’t amused.”

No where in the article does it mention whether or not they had an “Employees Must Wash Hands” sign.

As we say at work everyday….”You can’t make this stuff up !”

Bobby earned many lbs of bacon for his work and that comment by putting that inspector in his place.

The only thing that could have made this story more awesome was for the fireman to use a thermometer
rectally on the inspector.
