'9-1-1 what is your emergency?'

[Empty Pockets]

Dispatcher: '9-1-1 What is the nature of your emergency?'

Caller: 'I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't have an eleven on it.'

Dispatcher: 'This is nine eleven'.

Caller: 'I thought you just said it was nine-one-one?'

Dispatcher: 'Yes, ma'am nine-one-one and nine-eleven are the same thing.'

Caller: 'Look. I may be old, but I'm not stupid.'


Can we maybe take a vote on that one?

Unfortunately, this is only half a joke. When the ambulance corp that I work with gives seminars and classes about the EMS system, we're required to say NINE ONE ONE because too many people were getting confused by NINE ELEVEN. :frown
