Just A Stay-In-Bed Kind Of Day, Fire Department Declares

ALBANY, NY–Citing inclement weather and a general “blah” feeling among the firefighters, Albany fire chief Martin Brundle declared Monday “just a lazy, stay-in-bed kind of day.” “We’ve been working hard all year,” said Brundle, speaking from his firehouse cot. “Our men deserve a day to just lie around and watch TV, and maybe order some pizza in the afternoon.” The department’s outgoing answering-machine message advised citizens of the greater Albany area to “call back tomorrow.”
