Life With Boys

One day Captain Obvious, as a wee little laddy, discovered fire trucks for the first time at Target. He was astonished to learn they were red and not blue, for that was the color of water. He noticed there was a fire fighter there giving a presentation. When Captain Obvious got there, the fire fighter asked, “Why are fire trucks red?”
Captain Obvious said “Because they are red”
The fire fighter then said “No. Red makes them easier to see.” Then he asked “Can I have a coin to show you a magic trick?”
Captain Obvious said, “I don’t know, can you?”
The fire fighter dude said, “Yes.” And “May I have a coin?”
Captain Obvious replied, “Ok” and gave him 24k gold coin.
The fire fighter then said, “watch as I make this little boy disappear” He then threw the coin 100 yards away.
Captain Obvious ran after the coin and when he came back he said “Fire trucks are red because fire trucks have eight wheels and four people on them, and four plus eight is twelve, and there are twelve inches in a foot, and a foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship, and the ship sailed the seas, and there are fish in the sea, and fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red and that’s why fire trucks are red.”
