Why?

Because where I live there is no other way to get police for anything -- such as when there are drag races on the street in the middle of the night outside my house.

I called when I saw a fire in the desert a few hundred yards from a development.

A few months ago, my client and I were sitting in my office when we heard a bang. We thought it was a fender bender. I'm on the 2nd floor and have a big window that overlooks the parking lot. We looked out and saw a vehicle on fire in the parking lot right outside my window. I called 911.

The best part was that the firemen who responded were definitely eye candy!

Don't get any ideas, Janice.

There wouldn't be much point in me dialling 911, nothing would happen.

What about 211?

Nothin', you gotta ring '000'.

So you call it "ringing" even when there's no bell anymore?

We're still in the dark-ages.

Yes, three times, all health-related and all three times I wound up being admitted to the hospital.

Most people gawk at the scene to look at the gore. I gawk at the firemen. Once there was an electrical short in our office. Three firemen showed up, and all three of them were gorgeous. Even the old dude was hot.

It's part of their job description.

Is not.

Once when I was stung by a hornet - very allergic.

So embarrassing that the firemen had to see me in a stretcher! Firemen are hot.

Have you ever apply to be a fireman Larry?

No. Why?

Then how do you know it's not in their job description? Have you seen any ugly firemen lately? Perhaps you are the wrong person to ask!!!

Maybe Australian applications are different than Omaha applications.

I don't get it.

Sorry to hear that!

Is universal. Don't you boys know anything?

The best place to scam on firemen: grocery stores. They all shop in a giant pack, in uniform.

In the red meat department! Usually steaks. :D

Well it wouldn't have been by me, but if the shoe fits...

Good to know!

yes, may 2007. my 2nd husband while drunk had pushed me and I fell and hurt my knee and had trouble getting up so he tried to pull me up and dropped me on my spine reaggravating my 2 ruptured discs...so called 911 since he was in no condition to help me and I really needed a hospital. which is why we no longer live together. one abusive husband was more than enough thank you.

Oh God, I hope you're okay now Michele.

No, but I called #77 (state police) from my cellphone once when I was driving to work on the I-95, because I saw two people who appeared to be young kids--12, 13, around there--walking along the side of the highway with backpacks on, like they were runaways or something. The dispatcher said they'd send a trooper right away. I hope they were Ok. I just kept thinking about all the predators out there, you know?
