great email quote

So apparently i'm on the membership committee at my firestation. I learned this via email today.

this, however, isn't the point to this brief post. there was a statement in the email that cracked me up.

Please note that it is with regret that we inform you that [name withheld], an approved candidate and prospective member suffered a cardiac arrest in our parking lot while attempting to attend a duty crew. He survived but to my knowledge is no longer considering membership with Arcola.

Ungrateful bastard. :P
