This report covers the
3rd phase of an ongoing programme to investigate the depths to which science
and technology can sink. The subject chosen was totally unwitting and is
still (as far is known) of the opinion that his "secondment" was in connection
with the Fire Service Inspectorate. The co-operation of Messrs. Roundell
and Burgon in this matter is greatly appreciated.
He will be returned
to "normal" fire service duties as soon as practicable, however, a period
of rehabilitation will be necessary to enable the officer to relearn the
work ethic on a gradual basis. To this end, a suitable post surrounded
by females has been selected.
It would not be advisable
to let this officer attempt firefighting in the near future, because he
has been conditioned to wait a minimum of eight minutes before commencing.
This may not be considered acceptable in normal Fire Service practice.
Normally the management
summaries required by the subject are three times as long as the rest
of the report. If he were to see one as short as this, the shock may be
fatal.
