Whacker Quiz

[Dustdevil]

You must work in another state/country...

What was your first clue?

...because where I am Nither is illegal, you can have emergency lights on your personal vehicle if you have a permit for it and you can scan all fire/EMS/PD frequencies why else would they sell scanners to the public.

Because whackerism is a multi-million dollar industry. Ask Gall's.

As far as shirts and hats or other appearal for other companies its always nice to show you have respect for them if you don't wear shirts or hats or whatever from other companies in my personal oppinion you have no respect for thoes companies but thats just my oppinion

I don't usually keep the prize at the bottom of the Cracker Jacks box either. But that doesn't mean I don't respect Cracker Jacks.

And, of course, minus 15 for spelling and grammar.

Back in the day-34%

Now-9%, but I don't think my Littman should be held against me.

Good think I didn't have to claim all of my drug rep stuff. :wink:

[FireMedic65]

Don't own one, don't carry one.

I use whatever is provided by the employer, whether it be a Littman or a 12 dollar Sprague, that is all I use

i use a dixie cup and a straw

0% btw

Not by my scale!

You're an automatic 25 percent just for having "fire" in your screen name.

[Lone Star]

I ended up with a whopping 3%!

I own a scanner that isn't plugged in (it was my fathers, who had it mounted in his truck), and a couple of EMS shirts that were gifts.

[Just Plain Ruff]

when I was a new EMT - 45% whacker

now - 2%

the questions aren't that intuitive and they should have included a scale for the number of posts at the EMS websites

whether you put a EMS pack/kit in your car so you could be ready to respond at a moments notice

Add in a question about being a volunteer firefighter or EMS

and then we'd really have a whacker quiz.

[FireMedic65]

there are sites where you can make up your own quiz... i just forget where because im not a teenage girl

[Niftymedi911]

YOU ARE 14% WHACKER!!!

WTF?????

I own a Littman, have 1 desktop scanner, no lights or stickers on my POV, I dont wear my uniform off duty, I have one EMS shirt that was given to me for a parade I was in when I drove our new rig in it, how does that add up to 14%?

[katbemeEMT-B]

7% whacker

I have an sweatshirt that says EMT on it that my kids gave me when I passed my National Registry test. I also a sticker on the back window of my car that is required by our service. No scanners, POV lights, or the such.
