If I could fake it anymore than I already am,I would be on a moviescreen

Sorry guys and gals for tha layoff from tha blog but alas, Duty calls... OMG, who the heck isn't out there faking it to some extent? Do tall girls really expect no one to notice that they are wearing flats to a gala with the 5 ft 2 in date? The guys have to admit that they gotta mention that they are either headed to go work out or they just left working out,but then on the other end of the spectrum there are those guys who will state that they are on their way to do some computer programming on the other end of campus. I love the whole aspect of people watching and watching them fake it. It makes me better at it as well. Have I ever walked into a fire and thought that I wasn't a little bit more cautious after seeing a fellow firefighter forget his earcovers on his helmet and watching his ear catch fire during a flashpoint in a fire excercise. All the guys at his station now call him coffee cup handle in Spainish. When am I faking it the most; easy! October! That is typically Fire Prevention Month for the Nation and The Local fire Stations go around to the the elementary schools to show the Kids the Fire Truck and The Fire Prevention guys/gals show the kids how to Stop,Drop, and Roll and so forth but always the Highlight and Finally of the show is when Sparky comes out from the Fire Truck and waves to all the little kids; and unfortunate for me, I have been delegated to being Sparky at my Station because the other Firefighter got too big for the outfit. I am always told that Sparky never talks from the Fire Prevention crew,but its hard to be quiet when the kids are trying to pull Sparkys head off or kick him where it counts, I have even been punched down there. They always try to pull off Sparkys long gloves with paws at the end which I am supposed to wave to wave goodbye to all the nice children; which really they arent, but ey! We all gotta fake it!!! Even if it hurts.
