We yell, "Light 'dem cherries!" before L+S. What do you yell?

I usually sigh or groan. You must not work in a 911 system if going L+S excites you.
 
"Yay, 5 minutes of driving with flashing lights and deafening noise for my already shot ears and tired eyes."
 
"Do we have to turn the sirens on? Can't we just use the lights? Yea? Well screw the policy!"
 
Its actually pretty funny if we get a priority 1 call we always say before we leave " time to go loud and blinky"
 
We usually just go. On occasion, I will randomly say, "Pork it, Margaret!" (sarcastically) and him and I just die.
It helps make light of the situation before we are on scene; keeps up from getting too wound up.
 
This morning it was something along the lines of "Why didn't dispatch give this call to 202? They were available in quarters before we were!"
