MONOC Wonderland...Funny

[scratrat]

I can't take credit for this, but it is funny as hell!!

To be sung (roughly) to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" one anda two anda....

9-1-1 rings

are you listening,

At MONOC

no one's listening...

Having chest pain tonight?

Oh what a fright!

Living there in Vince's Wonderland

Gone away are the medics

What's to say,

it's pathetic.

No medics tonight,

The budgets too tight.

Living there in Vince's Wonderland.

In the ghetto while you're having chest pain,

the medics are on the unemployment line.

You'll say I need Nitro,we'll say "no man",

But you can have Bayer Aspirin anytime...

Later on while you have rales,

Call 9-1-1,

you'll get voicemail.

No CPAP for you,

You'll have to turn blue.

Living there in Vince's Wonderland.

I guess more of you would find this comical if you knew Monoc or have ever worked there, as some of us unfortunates have......

This is because they have closed down over 10 ALS rigs in a year..

What's a rig?

[paramedicmike]

What's a rig?

They must work in tractor trailers.

You can take the boy outta Jersey, ya know?

Sonny is still using Jersey slang, where he used to work a surface transport vehicle used by EMS is sometimes referred to as a "rig" feel free to substitute your local slang.

At least I didn't say funnier!!!!

As inferred on other strings, a "rig" is one of many nicknames for the ambulance vehicle. I live in an area where they seem to always be called a "Bus", but I don't remember why the people do this.

What I heard was, the original NYC EMS ambulances were licensed with Limo or Omnibus tags.

Might not be true but it's the story I'm sticking with

moncock sucks.....

i have very few encounters with St Joseph's paramedics and now that I help out Elmwood Park in the daytime, I see them a little more. They are awesome.

moncock sucks.

I'm disappointed in all of you.

I would think you woulda picked up the sarcasm when I asked what a RIG was.

RIGS dig oil out of the ocean, or have 18 wheels.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
