Face it... someone is breaking into your house in the middle of the night. You call 911, the phone is dead... now what?
Suppose the guy didn't cut the phone line?
"Hello, you have reached 911...press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish, or 0 for an operator...."
Suppose you actually got a cop on the line?
"We will send someone right out there. You just hold tight until they get there, OK??? Hello??? Hello???
<0>
"Yes, what is your emergency?
Police!
"Yes, go ahead..."
Someone just broke into my house and--!
"Sir, your going to have to calm down and quit yelling! I don't have to carry on a conversation if you're going to behave like this! If you don't lower your voice and explain to me in a calm manner what your situation is then this phone call is over. Have I made myself perfectly clear, sir?!...Sir?...Sir?
