[BC] Disaster preparedness

[Sid Schweiger]

>>When I was a kid those sirens were called air raid sirens. There was 
a big one at the end of my street. They tested them once a week at 
noon so people wouldn't start drinking the booze stored in their bomb 
shelters. If they went off at any other time you knew something 
serious was going on and it wasn't a celebration.<<

Robert Klein used to do a great routine about air raid sirens,
remembered from his childhood in the Bronx.  He said "what if the
Russians second-guess us and bomb us at noon?  'Good idea, Ivan, they'll
think it's lunch.'"
