She wasn't claiming it happened today. She said it was one of those deals where you say, "damn I'm lucky today".
Despite the contempt she has for all her fellow DUmpmonkeys, the nutcase knows even they aren't DUmb enough to buy the idea of a crazy bald dwarf working in the San Diego emergency services.
All her derring-do went on in the shithole south of the border, except of course her death-defying drives to take boring photos of burning dead grass around suburban San Diego.
It's impossible to uncover facts in the shithole south of the border, so she has a clear field for making up self-aggrandizing bullshit.
The fact is that a crazy, fat, bald dwarf doesn't have adventures anywhere except inside her bald noggin.
