Will I Fit In?
If you've just joined Search & Rescue, you stand on the threshold of a unique social and personal adventure. Still, you may be asking yourself if you're really a SAR-y sort of person. Well, have no fearyou'll fit right in if . . .
You're a deep thinker:
- You wonder: If a tin whistle is made out of tin then what, exactly, is a fog horn made out of?
- You once asked out loud why glue doesn't get stuck to the inside of the bottle.
- You wonder whatever happened to Absorbine, Senior.
- You know the direction water swirls when you flush.
You're socially smooth:
- Your line to a prospective date is, "What's your URL?"
- You go to family reunions to meet women.
You're a man or woman of action:
- You drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.
- Five years ago you started walking for your health. Now you don't know where you are.
- It's easier to spray weed killer on your lawn than mow it.
You balance work and leisure:
- You think Mondays are an awful way to spend one seventh of your life.
- You love deadlines. You especially love the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
- A bus station is where the bus stops. A train station is where the train stops. On your desk you have a work station.
- Your project plan is to fall behind quickly so you'll have more time to catch up.
You follow technical directions well:
- The instructions that come with a Rowenta clothes iron, "Do not iron clothes on body," were written for you.
- This label on bag of Fritos makes sense: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."
- You look for directions on packets of airline peanuts.
- You resolve to keep in mind this Swedish chainsaw warning: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands."
You are a person of culture:
- Your stereo speakers used to belong to the Moonlight Drive-In Theater.
- A seven course meal consists of a bucket of KFC and a six-pack.
