My grandpa used to cheat at cards. I never called anyone. I shot his left earlobe off. He dealt straight after that.

Her husband was leaving the bar and would not give her any money? Silly girl! For that you call Barack Obama and he finds a welfare slush fund for you to tap.

Maybe she forgot to report that he was leaving with another woman?

It’s hard to read the questions with beer goggles on.

Well, if there was an “811” for police calls of lesser importance, there would be a decline in marginal calls to 911.

I have no idea what the local police phone numbers are for every community around me. I could just dial 0 but, having done that before, the hassle is unbelievable.

It would be simple to create a new non-emergency phone number.

You are assuming that most people would remember and be able to discriminate between *two* three-digit numbers... fat chance!
