A litte[sic] Christmas Story... think of others tonight
Well, in my younger years I served as a Paramedic. I volunteered for this very shift. If I were at work, either I'd be running calls, or it be very quiet. Around this time of the night, near mass... we just sat in the ambulance... waiting.
So one of those years we got a call to one of our ciudades perdidas for a breathing emergency much earlier in the day, around three thirty in the afternoon. Now, those are usually very serious. So when we got on scene, and it was cold, it was asthma. So we treated the emergency and started talking to the family. We found they came from the southern part of the country. They were robbed on the road and had exactly nothing, except what they had on their backs. So we filled our forms, and picked our stuff and went back to the station. Right across there was a Costco, new and shiny. So we passed the hat, (and me and my medical director put most of it) and went over to Costco. We bought them food, and blankets, and yes a toy or two for the two children.
We went back, and they were very surprised we pulled back in. I mean it is cold, it is not precisely close and we blew a quarter of a tank of gas (which I replaced). We opened the back of the rig and unloaded the food, included the prepared Christmas dinner, as well as the toys and the blankets and the rest. They had food for a week or two, and some stuff that they lost. As dad put it, in broken Spanish (they were Zapotec), we were their angels.
So when the morning comes, think of others, and not just tonight... but for the rest of the year.

I'm trying to decide if this DUmmy is actually a troll:

Its folks like you that keep my hope for the human race alive.
Plus I didn't realize you were a Paramedic.
I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and call this post sarcasm.

8. This is an uplifting story EXCEPT for these parts:
"...(and me and my medical director put most of it)..." and "...quarter of a tank of gas (which I replaced)...."
These two parts change the story from a nice Christmas story for the reader to a "Look at me" by the author. Does the reader *really* need to know that the author paid for the food/gifts/gas in order to enjoy the pleasure that the recipients (as well as the donors and the reader) derived from the good deed?
Oh, and yes, nutcase nadin is steaming over them remarks:

REALLY steaming. But way too stupid to come up with a clever retort:

After some reflection and cooling-off, nutcase tries to give a reasoned response to her buddy Obamanaut:

12. Just for you, the warm and fuzzy year of suicides
at 15:05 we got the first call. The cops did such. We responded to make sure five men, between 17-9 were indeed dead, from hanging
Arriving on scene, yup they were dead...
At 17:56 we were called to another scene now with four bodies.
To make a long story short I personally responded to three of these calls and declared, over the course of the shift, 13 young men. Between me and all other crews, we had twenty bodies on our hands by the end of Christmas shift. It was... a really crummy shift, which included an attempted suicide that same night by a young woman, about 19.
Now that was a Christmas story just for you.

And with that, the 2012 competition for Top DUmmy is underway, with nutcase nadin breaking cleanly from the gate.
