9-1-1. What's Your Emergency?

Bello bought this book called Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader. It has some pretty interesting facts in it and information about anything you can think of right down to bad reviews of movies. One Chapter was filled with reviews for Gigli. I have never seen the movie because based on the previews; it looked very uninteresting to me. Some of the reviews in this book about this movie are enough to make any actor or actress escape into oblivion and never return in human form again. That’s how harsh these reviews were. I’ll post some of those tomorrow. You won’t be disappointed.

Here is an excerpt from one the Chapters on Actual 911 Calls:

Dispatcher: 9-1-1. What’s the location of your emergency?

Caller: I have some information that will help solve some of your cases.

(Dispatcher notices the call is originating from the State Hospital)

Dispatcher: What information is that?

Caller: I am prepared to tell the detectives that I know the true identity of Cinderella’s step-mother.

I felt compelled to find others like this and I found one that had me in tears laughing hysterically:

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one What is the nature of your emergency?

Caller: I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't have an eleven on it.

Dispatcher: This is nine eleven.

Caller: I thought you just said it was nine- one-one?

Dispatcher: Yes, ma'am nine-one-one & nine-eleven is the same thing.

Caller: Honey, I may be old, but I'm not stupid.

It’s no wonder 911 has a tough time answering calls. It’s stupid people (with the exception of the occasional psychopath) who call for stupid reasons. I’ll post more of these in the future. Some of them are down right ridiculous. So ridiculous that you would hope these people would permanently remove themselves from the gene pool to prevent any offspring.
