Burning Down the House

Firemen told to abstain from sexual bribes

Fri Nov 16, 10:28 AM ET
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has banned fire department officials from receiving sexual favors as bribes from companies seeking their business, local media reported on Friday.


Ok then perhaps I should have looked closer into this whole firefighting deal for a living.

Lets explore this shall we; you get sex for putting out fires? Does this have anything to do with the size of the fire or the attractiveness of the homeowner? Can you be selective in this regard or you pull out the hose you take your chances?

I was totally unaware that firefighting could actually be a bid-based industry or that you could in fact be selective on where you actually perform your duty. Clueless into the whole fire fighting for profit deal let alone for a little extra treatment from the grateful client.

The article goes on to say:

“For every 10 corrupt officials, nine are involved in illicit sex. This old tune has already been proved by statistics from disciplinary organs many times," Xinhua said.

“Statistics from disciplinary organ?”


Who is the one getting these stats and exactly from what organ?

Oh well time to go polish up the old pumper truck.
