Sorry, but I just HAD to laugh......

Hi All,

Maybe you've seen my post in General Discussions about compiling a spreadsheet for the Part 90 - Public Safety - Conventional agencies within a 150 mile radius of Shreveport, LA. I've been searching the F.C.C. Database by each frequency for AR, LA, OK, & TX. This information will be only shared with the heads of EEOC's, in case they want to monitor it and local ham radio repeaters during Skywarn and disaster call-ups.....chemical fires, explosions, woods or forest fires, 18-wheeler wrecks or bad road conditions.

Today, I was looking up 154.385 mHz. and came across an "unusual" finding that made me laugh out loud. Yep, it's the GREASY VFD, in BUNCH County, near Stillwell, OK. Now, THAT's FUNNY...the 'Greasy Bunch'. Bwahahahahahaha. It made my morning. Greasy is certainly out of range of any of our scanner capabilities here, but it was fun to see.

Now, in all fairness, I'm sure there are other agencies in towns all over the USA that have unusual names and places. BTW, I've been through Oklahoma, many times. It's a very beautiful state and it's people are wonderful.

Yea, it sure beats "Burns Flat" fire dept. (burned flat) lol. In Washita county. I was asst. chief...
I get a lot of looks when I wear my cap around...

Burned Flat, LOL!

Evening Jim, All,

Now that's even funnier. Fire folks are mighty special people in my book. We have a WORLD-CLASS fire department here and around Shreveport, LA. Every day and during the day, when I hear a fire company or paramedic EMS team dispatched, I pray for their safety and that they can go home to their loving families. Every chance I get, in meeting them in stores, at functions, etc. I "thank" them each for their service.

Hate to bust your bubbles but NOTHING beats oakhurst!

What's even funnier, of course, is there IS NO BUNCH COUNTY in Oklahoma! There may be one in Arkansas, but not in Oklahoma.

How do we know the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas? Had it been invented anywhere else, they would have called it a "teethbrush!"

Sorry.....my bad...

The TOWN is Bunch, the County is Adair, LOL! I must be getting senile or worse. ;-)
