Ancient Order Of Hibernians Has A Serious Problem With Rescue Workers

Since it’s always a good idea to burn bridges with people who could potentially save your life one day, the St Patrick’s Day Parade organizer John Dunleavy informed 35 Medics that they lost their prime slot and now have to march 35-minutes later with the FDNY. Oh, and they have to leave their pipe and drum band behind because the FDNY already has one.

That’s like telling a group of 13-year-olds that they can’t play in the battle of the bands after they already made the T-shirts and everything.

We guess it would’ve been better for the EMS workers to spend the $12,000, which they acquired in a fund-raiser that was set up to buy instruments and special uniforms, on a big party at the Olive Garden.

And, they could’ve not wasted all that time dicking around with the instruments that parade-goers aren’t even going to get to see anyway.

“We practiced two nights a week as a band, and every day the players would go home and practice for up to an hour or an hour and a half a day,” a band member said.

Martin Kelly, who helps organize the parade, wants the rescue workers to stop bitching.

He said, “they’re only moved back 35 minutes in the parade route - they could be all the way at the back.”

Besides, he pointed out that some of the FDNY and EMS workers were have been mildly intoxicated in the past.

What do the rescue workers think this is? A St. Patrick’s Day Parade?
