Four Bells

Heard from our Captain, Grenville Watton (a fireman) on tour in 2004.

A fireman came home from shift and his wife asked him about his day.

"Great" said the fireman, "we've got a new drill all based on bells."
"One bell, we slide down the pole & rush to get changed. Two bells, we get on the fire engine. Three bells we go off to fight the fire."

"I've got an idea" he said, "We could use that in our lovemaking as well ... One bell - we take off our clothes, two bells - we get on the bed, three bells - we make love!"

His wife was not overly convinced, but agreed to humour him. That evening, he put his plan to work.

"One bell!" he announced, and they undressed.

"Two bells!" and they got on the bed.

"Three Bells!" he yelled and got down to business.

After a few minutes his wife suddenly shouted "FOUR BELLS"

"Four bells?" he said, "What's four bells?"

"Run out more hose", she said, "you're nowhere near the fire!"
