Some time back my wife called me while I was at my VFD meeting, said she heard some kind of loud noise, thought there was someone outside the house (isolated, nearest neighbor well out of sight). I asked her if she had called the Sheriff's office; she said no, I said call them now, I am on the way (less than a mile). No way I was waiting on a deputy, I got home, let wife know I was outside, patrolled the property, didn't find anything. Deputy rolls up, he looks around too, still nothing. Thanked the deputy, went inside.

"So why did you call me first instead of the county mounties?"

"You were closer, I thought you'd bring everyone in the fire department and I figure you guys have more guns than the cops."
