You can tell when Randall makes a strip that he surely knows will delight and/or annoy experts of the field the strip mentions.

A year ago, apparently there was such a huge emergency that I heard every siren at once out of my window. Honest, I think the Ecto-1 was one of them!

One of my favourite workplace conversations: we tried to work out how to tell the service from the siren - we discovered the names for them! The Wail, Yelp, Hi-Lo, Howler, Power Call, Piercer and tried to (verbally) make those calls. (however we also found out NZ services all have the same siren)

If you see a blue giant in your rear view mirror, it's imperative that you pull over so you can get a good view of it shifting into red as it passes you.

Reminds me of the apocryphal sonar operator who named their dog Doppler- "Up Doppler...Down Doppler..." and the inevitable punchline "Roll over, Doppler!".

These distant galaxies are the flashing lights on top of cosmic police cars. In just a moment (on an astronomical time scale) you should see them flashing blue.
