2. Happens often here (PGH)
Every week, usually between 8-9 PM Friday we get a test of some emergency system.

Makes me wonder, after all that testing they didn't use the Emergency Broadcast System on 9/11. If THAT didn't qualify then what the hell does?

3. Every time the Emergency Broadcast System Alarms go off.....
....only us old Pavlovian 'dogs' will 'know' to put our heads between our legs and kiss our asses g'bye.

Wonderful idea back then...when people cared about each other. We don't care about each other anymore. We really don't. It's every man for him/herself, for the most part - except for the brave few who 'haven't gotten/don't believe the memo yet'.
