True story: Outside our subdivision, along side the road, telephone lines were buried. One day I got a call - from 911. The guy wanted to know what my emergency was. Said I didn’t have one, I didn’t call. He said yes I did. I said no I didn’t. He finally believed me.
Short time later, I get a call from 911. By that time my husband was home and he had called his adult daughter. 911 guy said to tell my husband to stop telling dirty jokes because it was being broadcast on speaker to everyone at 911 including the police dept. I was speechless.
The buried phone line had somehow mixed our phone with 911.
I was told not to use our phone until they called me. Immediately if not sooner, they were digging up that phone line to fix it.
Told my husband do NOT use the phone and clean up your jokes. He thought it was really funny and laughed and laughed.
Well, I am laughing.
