Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Thank you for sharing << I was send the best email today on the stupidity of some humans. These are real warning labels on things today: On a Sear Hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Thaats the only time I have to do my hair) On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase nessecary. Details inside. (Evidently the shoplifter special) >> I had one recently -- some how this woman in Pennyslvania managed to come into our center on a 911 line -- I suspect she called 911 in Pennyslvania and they used a confidential number to come in to our center -- I'm in California -- she and some friends were having a bet as to how long one of our bridges was -- and thought it was important enough to call 911. And a few weeks ago I was on my way into work on the rest of the world's Sunday and a woman noticed my ID badge and asked " oh, do they make you work on Sunday? Do they pay you extra? " . I was in polite mode " yes mam, we work on Sunday -- 911 is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. " " Oh " she replied, " so if I have a problem at 2 in the morning I can get help. " Me: " Oh sure, no problem! " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
