All right all you twitter folk, I heard your call for the contest and I’m stepping up.
We’re having ourselves a little caption contest.
Mr Setla, my producer, and ninja trainer, over at the Chronicles of EMS posted some teaser photos of a brand new series in the works called Chronicles of EMS: A Seat at the Table. This new web series is an exciting project we’re working on to open up the dialogue in our profession in a way that’s never been done before.
As a result, we’ve been testing and experimenting with topics, light and film and this photo is a screen shot of one of those tests.
So you’re wondering what I’m saying? Let’s hear it. Caption this photo.

” Yeah, so, like when I went to the UK, honestly Ted, they had frumpydumples THIS BIG “

“So, anyway, I forgot to wear my gloves……..”
“And when we picked him up off the floor, I swear there was a turd this big underneath him!”
(Urrgh, I think I just swallowed some sick!!)
And lo, I delievered a shiny new iPad to Ninja Master Setla. His trusted iPhone was thrown to the waste lands never to be seen again.

“So I looked at the guy, and I said ‘On the one hand, I could run you into the hosital for that lump on your head. It would take up a lot of my time, and you’d take up a lot of resources at the ER. On the other hand, I could also just hit that lump with my Hazardous Materials Placards Book and flatten it out, which would be quicker and cheaper for you, and FAR more satisfying for me.’”
