When it takes a crew of three to dig up and replace a fire hydrant, it 
is an appropriate number.

They are doing their job.

The old one failed last winter and froze solid.  Didn't do any good to 
the guy across the street whom had a chimney fire.

At least the Fire Wagon has 800 gallons on board. 

I don't call it inefficient.  They busted their butt getting it done, 
and did a darn good job.

We all have different experiences!

The corporate world holds pre-meeting meetings.  Go figure!  No wonder 
they don't make the profits they should!
