Why Are Fire Trucks Red?

Everyone knows that fire engines have 4 wheels and 8 men.
4 and 8 make 12. There are twelve inches in a foot. A foot
is a ruler. Queen Elizabeth, a ruler, is the name of one of the
largest ships on the seas. Seas have fish and fish have fins.
The Finns fought the Russians and Russians are red . . .
and fire trucks are always rushin' therefore, fire trucks are red!
NOW . . . if you think that's wild, you ought to hear folks'
excuses for not keeping their New Year's Resolutions!
