Lisa Kantorski took the call from the person who claimed to be a front-desk clerk about a gas leak in their hotel ... She frantically relayed the information to her husband, Mark, an Indian River County deputy. ... pranksters — whose tricks are sweeping the nation. The unknown protagonists dupe otherwise rational people into doing outrageous things, including driving trucks through storefronts and breaking hotel windows to test fire alarms.

It was urgent!! The said I had to immediately:

* Gut the parrot to get the abort codes in his belly

* Tie up my spouse who was really a Chinese spy

* Knock the food out of everyone's hand in the Mac Donald's - it's all been poisoned

* Approach the agent and suck the poison out before it travels to the heart

[The unknown protagonists dupe otherwise rational people into doing outrageous things..]

This is rational? Stupid is as stupid does, these people remind me of the democrats who voted Obama and the communist Congress into power where he speaks kind words to them as the democrat party steals all America’s money and freedoms and bring the American’s into poverty through all the evil programs they are working while the fools of America support them.
The people of Germany liked Hitler too. History continues to repeat itself and most people never learn from history. America has the worst educational system world wide and that is a fact Jack.

Same people who want the government to “take care of them” and have become so helpless they actually believe crap like this when coming from someone sounding like and authority figure.

Ueful advice. Similar to Dr Peter Venkman's admonition to Ray Stantz:

"If a being from an alternate dimension asks 'Are you a God?,' say YES!"

Yeeeah, but what if you’ve secretly always wanted to trash a hotel room - this would be your big chance! It’s go-time and you’ve got the perfect excuse - do it or die!

Sandy: Carl I want you to kill all the gophers on the golf course

Carl Spackler: Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they’ll lock me up and throw away the key.
