Why are firetrucks red?

Because two and two are four, and four and four are eight, and four plus eight make twelve, and 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 there were fish in the seas, and fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red, and fire trucks are always rushin' around, so that's why fire trucks are red.
