Would you like to see the English language being abused while learning why most fire trucks are red ?

They are red because they have eight wheels and four people on them, and four plus eight is twelve, there are twelve inches in a foot, and one foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship, and the ship sailed the seas, and in the seas are fish, and the fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red, and fire trucks are always Russian around.

@SW-User It is fun to play around with. I can't take the credit for that creation though. I found it online and copied it because it gave me a grin.
@SW-User Don't you think modern English is a derivative of old Vikingar sprak?
