    Here we have a short tale on Twitter of how professional NFL Player Reggie Bush handles a fire at his neighbor’s house.

    Walter Payton would have put out the fire in the time it took you to Tweet RT @reggie_bush Damn my neighbors house is on fire!!!!! Whoa!!!

    Also, I’d like to suggest a hashtag game - #ThingsReggieBushTweets

    For instance:

    Hey, a little girl is bleeding. Let me go update my Facebook status. #ThingsReggieBushTweets

    This reminded me of what happened to Bill Nye the Science Guy.  Discordant social phenomena.

    Presumably we're talking mansions, and he found out the house was on fire when fire trucks showed up. Should he have grabbed a pail and headed over to help?
