About this audiobook
America's 911 system is supposed to be for emergencies only. But some people apparently didn't get the memo, because the following are some of their responses when asked by dispatchers, "What's your emergency?" - "Yeah, I want to order a pizza." - "I've been standing all day and my feet hurt." - "I just swallowed a penny. Am I going to die?" - "I want an officer to come out and take care of a low-flying aircraft." - "When does the Burger King open?" New York Times best-selling author Leland H. Gregory III compiles some of the dumbest and occasionally profane (you've been warned) abuses of the 911 system ever recorded. Danielle Ferland and Andy Paris' amusing narration will have listeners either howling with laughter or scratching their heads in disbelief. Possibly both. Because this book is based on actual 911 calls, there are occasional profane words in the text. The author replaced these words with dashes, and they are bleeped in this recording.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A series of transcripts of unusual 911 calls. There's one with a woman who has a cat floating in the air. A mother who wants a policeman to scare her child into doing his homework and numerous other examples of odd calls to 911 dispatch. Ok over all some are down right funny and others I'm left wondering why they were included in the book at all.
