When you go to a new car dealer and bring your blue light along just to make sure it fits right on the dash.

Found these on a webiste I like to visit sometimes...put the whole thing in "_" so no one can complain.
"You own at least three pens with the names of prescription medications on them
You think pizza, cookies, and coke make a balanced meal
You can only tell time with a 24-hour clock
You lay out your clothes from that day so if there is a call at night you can find them quickly.
You've ever used the acronym F.T.D. (Fixin' to Die) or L.T.B.B (Lucky To Be Breathing)
The microwave goes off and you're already out of the house thinking it was your pager... when you realize the popcorn is done.
You've ever thought a blood pressure cuff as an excellent Christmas gift
You've ever spent more money on a stethoscope than on a car payment
You have ever run out of the diner across from the station when the tones go off without paying.... Yelling back to them, "Ill be right back!!"
You know it's a full moon without having to look at the sky
You buy the station wagon/minivan/SUV just so that you have enough room in your car for all your gear.
Your bladder can expand to the same size as a Winnebago's water tank
You refer to motorcyclists as organ donors
Discussing dismemberment over a meal seems perfectly normal
Your idea of fine dining is sitting down to eat
You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf down your food, even in the nicest restaurants
You have ever restrained someone...and it wasn't a sexual experience
Your immune system is well developed that it has been known to attack and kill squirrels in the backyard
You've woken up thinking your pager went off and as you look at it..., it does. "

Is it a function of my "experience" that I'm disappointed that none of these parameters involves "Emergency" or Johnny and Roy? C'mon, we don't have much tradition in EMS, and I know they traction splinted an ankle fracture in season 1, but a little respect, pleeese!
1) You have, or have had, the Squad 51 tones as your Windows start up sound
2) You can quote most of the great Emergency one-liners, or recreate the practical jokes
3) You have the squad 51 tones as your ringtone.
FWIW, I can recognize alert tones of neighboring fire companies, identify agencies by siren sounds, and my Yukon is extremely well equipped (but darn that CHP, they get a little testy about emergency lights in POVs)

I googled Station 51 tones and downloaded the attached file.
Good safety tip. Those tones get annoying in an office!

Here's where I found the Station 51 tones as well as a longer version with most of the opening sequence.

I would really be happy if someone could point me to a "Third Watch" theme ringtone.

If you want it as an mp3 file, you can download the song. It's called "Keep Hope Alive" and I think it was done be the band Crystal, but I could be wrong.

The band is "The Crystal Method" and the song is availble on iTunes.
I bought it so my whacker mix is almost complete... I've got Shine Your Light (from Ladder 49); C'mon, C'mon (from Rescue Me), The Show Goes On (from Backdraft), and I think I've got the ER theme at home somewhere... I've got them on a CD that I occasionally play for laughs at work. I still need the BayWatch theme, though... then it should be complete!
