When I was a relatively new fireman I met an interestin character named "Corn Water"
Corn Water's real name is Jerry. He is an expert in vertical rescue. He is the man who trained me in the joys of roping off buildings, bridges, cranes, water towers, out of helicopters, and into deep holes in the dirt, or any numerous other area where people find themselves hurt or stuck.
Jerry got named Corn Water at the fire station due to his particularly weird fetish. Every time we cooked canned corn he would suddenly appear like a squirrel on crack cocaine. He would be lickin his lips, holdin his cup and sayin things like "That corn water looks good" or "Ya ain't gonna pour out that corn water are ya?" or my personal favorite "If you ain't gonna drink that corn water I sure wouldn't mind havin it"
It got rather amusing when somebody would pretend to dump the water out. Corn Water would be so forlorn, until he would see you apper in the doorway holdin his corn cup and he would just grin and swig his elixer.
