Actually, my father's side of the family was is pretty entertaining.
There's an amusing laminated picture of my older cousin-a member of the FDNY-covered in soot and dirt after coming back from a call, standing next to another firefighter-who was supposedly a contestant on "Survivor"-dressed in his immaculate uniform, who looks like he just came in from a shoot for GQ Magazine.
My grandmother was also pretty feisty.

LOL!
