She also just wanted her damn cheeseburger made right (new window)

Just one pepsi and she wouldn't give it to me.

That mayo has gone rancid.

Uck. She looks like she has gills on her cheeks.

"Hello, 9-1-1, what's the trouble?"
"I tell you, my LIFE'S on the bubble!
So brace yourselves, folks:
I RAN OUT OF SMOKES!
So, send me some more on the double!"

She looks like the poster child for good health and sanity.

Actually, she just wanted salt.

This is a phenomenal example of why we need a facepalm tag.

And they say smoking is bad for you. This lady is probably at least 45 and still going strong!

She is obviously unaware that she is calling the wrong number.

The number to call if you can't get cigarettes is a Washington, DC number (202 area code unless you know the 1-800 number) that gets you the Tobacco Lobby in Congress.

It is literally in Congress.

The phone rings on the floor of the House and your call is directed by a Member who is not paying attention to the speechifying.

If you are calling 911 because you want guns, homeopathic medicine or some other frummery, you are also DOING. IT. WRONG.

You should be calling Washington. Half those black people in Washington who support the Democrats to the tune of 95% of the suffrage, are working in call centers for various industries and corporations that own Washington, DC, as well as the GOP and the Democratic Party.

If you want prescription drugs, the number to call is not 911. It is 1-800-O-CANADA. That's an "O" not a zero. or buy them on the web. If you buy them from Canada, you have half a chance they will be real and not fakes. This is because the fakers have caught on and use Canadian websites to fool you. It is not the fault of Canadians. The web domains are controlled from Washington, DC. Call somebody who cares. Call the web company lobby in Washington, DC. They have a 1-888 number.

dkimball: That's a hard 39

That's hard for any age

long ago when people had one wall mounted rotary dial phone in the central location of the home people would sometimes interface with live human operators to perform various communications tasks. there was a lot of abuse of the privilege so as to speak.
due to abuse these free services fell to the wayside or became 'for a charge' services.
and there were people in small town settings that sometimes received favors from the local law. "if you're heading out this way on patrol, maybe you could drop off.." perhaps the old girl was having a flashback of better days, when she could still suck the rib bone clean with one pass of her lips. they were all happy to bring her a pack of smokes back in 1952.

What I don't get is why don't they just say, "Okay, we'll send an officer. Where are you at?"
Then when the officer gets there, cuff her and haul her off.

oryx: You'd never guess she smoked

WAIT A MINUTE!

That's a she?

Hey! It says right on the side of the damn car "to protect, and serve"

..and this lamp. And that's ALL I need.
