The usual auto driving\/let’s learn a lesson\/no let’s do comedy that is my life:<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Evan:\u00a0 Oh.. a Firebulance.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0 Haha.. I can see that.. halfway between a fire truck and an ambulance.\u00a0 But they call that a Paramedic truck.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
