EMS/EMT Humor

Okay, I had to go look for more humor to share.

EMS Humor forum

Medical Jokes from 10-7, including Top Ten Lies told by Paramedics

Funny photos - some good ones!

Not all of these jokes at Paramedic & EMT Gathering are related to the biz.

This you’ve probably seen and/or experienced: Murphy’s Law of EMS

You might be an EMT if…

The best for last, cartoons!

Need a laugh?

I found these sites with Police Humor. Of course, some jokes you’ll find on multiple sites, but there are enough unique ones on each site to make them worth sharing.

Angelfire.com has 15 pages of jokes, stories, one-liners and definitely some groaners.

101 fun jokes has a police page of jokes.

My absolute favorite joke was on the Life on the Beat site. The one titled “Police Harassment”.

The revised Miranda rights were good on this site.

I like the funny pictures here. Click on them to make them larger. There are jokes, too.

Police Wives Online has officer humor in the form of clothing with sayings.

Leine’s 10-42 Hideaway has Humor Behind the Badge – true stories.

And the very best for last—99 police cartoons from Off the Mark by Mark Parisi.

MAN discovered FIRE—MAN continues to discover ways to PUT FIRE OUT

How did we get to where we are today? Let’s take a look at firefighting history.

National Academies of Emergency Dispatch has a good article on the
History of Firefighting from early Romans to present day.

On his Rescue, Safety, Saving Lives site, Steve Victory has the History of the Maltese Cross, History of St. Florian, History of the Fire Apparatus, and History of the Star of Life.

Women in the Fire Service, Inc. has an article on Women in Firefighting: A Brief History. Their welcome can also be read in French, German and Spanish.

I found History of Fire Hoses at two sites: Fire Fighters’ Real Stories and at Firehouse Magazine.

We've come a long ways! Will be interesting to see what the future holds.
