Rigor mortis usually is incompatible with life.

He was just pining.

Operator - "He's only been dead for 4 hours! If you give him CPR really quickly, he can be saved!"

Billy Mays' wife - "Are you on crack?"

In my experience, it's beneficial to the creation of life...

Had the same conversation with 911 when my dad died.

If Billy Mays were alive today, I think I know what he would say:

"BILLY MAYS HERE! LET ME OUT OF THIS FARKING BOX!"

/Here till Tuesday. Try the veal.

This is exactly why 911 dispatchers just stopped picking up whenever DeForest Kelly called.

I'm not one to exaggerate and say that I spilled my drink laughing over this. I did however chuckle, which is saying a lot.

I'm honestly surprised that he didn't do that.

Two weeks of deaths. Who's going to die tomorrow?

 
House of Tards [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 06:18:24 AM  
If Billy Mays' family wants to carry his legacy, they'll bury him with someone else who died in order to save on shipping and handling.

BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE STACKABLE COFFIN. IT'S LIKE LEGOS FOR THE DECEASED.

 
Sun God [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 06:40:02 AM  
Maybe Billy should have bought two of those lifesaving heart defib machines. Only 3 payments of 29.95!

The 911 Operator should have suggested using Mighty Putty. That probably would have worked.

 
ACEllis 2009-07-03 07:03:18 AM  
I'm a 911 operator so I'm getting a kick outta these replies... no really... I am.

I've spent 10 minutes doing CPR over the phone on a 72-year-old man who was found by his wife. Without the magic utterance of "COLD AND STIFF" we are to automatically presume the cardiac arrest just occurred and usher the caller to start the process.

If you are curious... the 911 operator was following the NAEMD protocol.(Not quite verbatim like the academy insists, but the operator got their point across.) They did everything in their power to keep that salesman alive. Notice how after cold and stiff was established and the insistence that it was too late did the operator cease ushering CPR?

/We have to try to get you to start it...
//I made a family give CPR to their father who was still alive after a seizure...
///The family was too damn panicky to correctly identify someone NOT breathing...
////Broke two of his ribs in the process. :)
\\Backwards slashies for not feeling the slightest bit guilty

ACEllis: I'm a 911 operator so I'm getting a kick outta these replies... no really... I am.

Yeah, I don't think the operator behaved weirdly. I doubt they could possibly know when something happened or how panicked the caller is. Better safe than sorry.

 
Zorkthemadman 2009-07-03 07:41:27 AM  
I ordered a tool bandit for the hell of it the other night.

The tool bandit was indeed 19.95... and they threw in the hooks, they threw in a "tool bandit belt" as well.

The Shipping and handling was $24.95..

What the hell, I wanted to order something that Billy Mays hocked. The guy struck me as really genuine.

I don't think I'll order anything else though...

After listening to the recording, I think the operator did very well.

I'm picturing the Pitchmen show where the DualSaw inventor cut his way out of a welded steel box with two saws.

I'll jump on the -1 for subby bandwagon.

Keywork99 2009-07-03 09:55:34 AM  
I never got to watch Pitchmen, and Discovery had a marathon earlier this week, so I tuned in. They dedicated the whole thing to Billy.

He seemed like a genuinely nice, generous guy with a good heart and a great sense of humor.

After watching it, I really felt bad for his wife, his son and his co-host.

A hunter calls 911 after shooting his buddy.
Caller: "I just shot my friend!I think he is dead!"
Operator: "First, we need to make sure he is really dead."
"BANG!"
Caller: "Ok, now what?"

ACEllis: Broke two of his ribs in the process. :)

If you don't break a rib, you ain't doing it right. First time I did CPR was on an 80 year old man. First compression I got 2. His Son in Law (my chief) was there too...didn't bat an eye.

 
3 G's 2009-07-03 11:26:39 AM  
O.K.

Who the FARK is "Frank", and why was he there before she called 911?

 
Juniper Jupiter [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 11:29:46 AM  
Actually, there WAS more to the call.

After they said it was too late, the operator said something to the effect of, "Oh...okay...be sure to remove all of your pets when they get there..." I couldn't help but laugh at that and thinking the EMTs arriving, nobody else is in the room, but Fido managed to sneak in and hump Billy' leg one last time....

(also 911 op)
This sort of thing happens all the time. Generally if 911 rings at about 5:04, 5:33, or the like we assume it's someone "waking up dead". And of course when the meds talk to them they gotta try to walk the family through CPR. Most the time dead's dead, but you'd be surprised.

 
KingPsyz 2009-07-03 11:42:24 AM  
wow sensationalist headline while they're putting Billy in the ground...

You stay classy subby.

I was sad to hear about Mr. Mays, seemed like a class act and someone who cared for life even though he was hawking inferior products.

He will be missed!
