[net.misc] ethical merits of yellow fire trucks :-)

Reminds me of an old exercise in logic:

Why are Fire Engines red?

Fire Engines are red because
One and one is two
Two and two is four
There are four inches in a ruler
Queen Victoria was a ruler
Queen Victoria ruled England
England ruled the sea
There are fish in the sea
The fish have fins
The Finns are always fighting the Russians
The Russians are red
Fire Engines are always rushin
So they're red

This obviously proves that yellow fire engines are totally illogical.

Well, yellow denotes cowardice, and generally speaking, I doubt you can
label many fire fighters cowards.  However, red denotes communism (are many
fire fighters communists?), so I think we should should do away with those,
too.

How about a natural wood stain color?
