"Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport,
Dog O' Lanterns
A firefighter was working on the engine outside the station, when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides, and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.
The girl was wearing a firefighters helmet. The wagon was being pulled by her dog and her cat. The firefighter walked over to take a closer look.
'That sure is a nice fire truck,' the firefighter said with admiration.. 'Thanks,' the girl replied.
The firefighter looked a little closer. The girl had tied the wagon to her dog's collar and to the cat's testicles..
'Little partner,' the firefighter said, 'I don't want to tell you how to run your rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think you could go faster.'
The little girl replied thoughtfully, 'You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a siren.'
Present your wife or girlfriend with a bunch of these flowers on Valentine's Day and she may well sue you for giving her an eye injury.
The highly colourful flowers have been developed by a Dutch businessman who dyes each bloom in the colours of the rainbow.
The dyes are produced from natural plant extracts and are absorbed by the flowers as they grow.
Aspecial process then controls how much colour reaches each petal – with spectacular results.
The 'Happy Flowers' were designed by Peter Van de Werken, who owns a flower company close to Den Bosch in southern Holland.
The firm sells only multi-coloured roses and chrysanthemums but is also looking to do pot plants.
Mr Van de Werken, 36, said: 'We used to only sell single colour flowers but the market for them took a dip.
'Myself and my colleagues started looking for something a bit different and came up with the idea of having different-coloured flowers.
'First of all we tried spraying the flowers but that did not work. Then we tried the dye. It took us about six months to get it right and we still make mistakes.'
The flowers, which make a change from the traditional Valentine's gift of red roses, can be ordered by visiting www.valueflora.com. A set of 12 roses costs about £50.
