@Steven Great story. Sounds just like mine. The deal is whether you are dealing with a prowler in the house, a moose, a bear in the woods or a bat, just like their sonar gets thrown off by the lights or echo or whatever, your thinking gets distorted. You panic and try to outwit the damned thing. It doesn't help that emergency people don't respond very well.
911 where's your emergency? (whatever happened to what's your emergency?)
911: What's your phone number? (whatever happened to what's your name and what is threatening your life?)
911: What's the problem? (ahh finally I can tell them what the issue is).
911: We will call the most least-interested person we can. Game warden should should call you back in oh, time enough to develop rabies. (ok, what the hell happened to "Please stay on the phone") I guess that got replaced with On Star)
On Star: This is On Star, what's your emergency. (well at least they started with my favorite line). OK, do you want us to stay on the line? Hell yes I want you to stay on the line. I want someone to know the exact time of death.
On Star: Do you mind if we use this in a commercial? The accident ones are not getting very good ratings anymore.
The worst part you can't even play Angry Birds as 911 shuts everything else down. I guess Angry Bats would be a more apropos game.
@St Lawrence I read the Protected part too. Yeah, mountain lions are protected but not in your house.
@John God, you and Jon are funnier than hell. .NET I laughed so hard. Unfortunately, I had .NET 3.5.
@John I take that back. The Lyme disease article kinda killed the buzz on your original joke.
@Ken Thanks. What would make you think the bat was rabid? I suppose any bat in the same situation would act like that.
Now isn't everyone glad I didn't do a million quotes
