Guess what. In a real emergency 911 is overloaded and useless any way. How many idiots call to say they just felt an earthquake? More than a few.

Several years ago, I witness and elderly man fall and hit his head on the curb. He started bleeding profusely. I called 911 from my cell phone and got put immediately on hold. I could NOT believe that the were playing commercial advertising while I was on 911 hold for jobs with the California Highway Patrol, Corrections, and various Non-Profit PSAs. . . SHEESH! I could just image some little old lady's husband is having a heart attack and she calls 911 and gets put on hold and is forced to listen to "You too can become a California Highway Patrolman or a State of California Correctional Officer! Work providing your fellow citizens excellent services. . . " or "Donate your old, working or non-working vehicle to. . . " while watching your spouse of over fifty years die before your eyes while waiting to get emergency vehicles on their way to you listening to ads. . . yeah, right!
