Eric

Not only is he a connoisseur of slice-n-bake cookies, but he's also a good partner (go figure, hehe). I have a good update to write about a call we went on tonight, but since I wrote one for Drew, I thought I'd do one for Eric. So here are a few humorous quotes and incidents from our dear friend that you all love (to hate), Eric.

Last Week, As We Were Trying to Get in to a Grocery Store Late at Night (for some Slice-n-Bakes!):
Me:"Aw, they're closed."
Eric:"Uhh...I don't know why, it says 'open 6am until midnight!'"
Me:"Eric, it's 2 in the morning."
Eric:"Right, so why aren't they open!?"
Me:"...Seriously?"
Eric:"Oh, right."


Classic Eric Phrases
Eff!
What the eff-bomb!?
Well ain't that some shit!


While Buying Food:
Drew:"Fatty! Why are you buying so much food!?"
Eric:"Leave me alone!"
Drew:"Christ. Sam, you know if we get a call, fatty here's going to be eating as he drives the medic."
Eric:"Aw, hell, that's nothing. This one time, I was driving lights and sirens while eating a cheeseburger!"
Me:"You know...you didn't really just help your case there."


Driving To a Call:
Me:"There's a bunny. Swerve for the bunny. SWERVE, SWERVE, SWERVE!!!"
Eric:"OH GOD! *swerves all over the place* That was almost really bad."


About Five Seconds Ago:
Eric:*points to a poster of Christopher Reeves* Isn't he dead?
Me:*not paying attention* Who?
Eric:Lance Armstrong
Me:*looks up, realizes who it is, proceeds to burst into hysterical laughter*



Eric provides us with a lot (and oh my god do I mean a LOT) of comic relief. I really like writing these "glimpses into the real lives of my partners" posts. I mean, I always write about Eric and Drew as they are on calls, but you don't know them like I do outside of the EMS world. I know them on campus, at the station, at their houses, at parties, etc. We are all really close, and I like bringing a little more of them into this. If you like reading these, please let me know and I'll be sure to bring you more! Eric will be super easy to write about, haha!

Yours,
Sam
