We're the Onl...zzzzzzzzzzz

When you call 911, you expect help immediately. Lisa, a Memphis resident, got anything but...

The line goes silent. As Lisa continues to explain her situation, the dispatcher does not respond - not for just 15 or 30 seconds, but for one full minute.

Then, sounds of snoring can be heard on the line.
Because we're "The Only Ones" in this room professional enough to use this phone, y'see...

Try to have some understanding, David--being an "Only One" is exhausting business.

Proof positive that you are on your own. Learn to shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Wow! You put people's lives in danger due to your inability to do your job and you get seven days off?

Dial 911 and die!

Calling 911 should be a last resort after using your phone as a club.

The police, courts and emergency operators hear this stuff all day, every day. To them, just another call to log. To US, life, death or worse.
Maybe it's the time difference. The Philippines is what, 10 hours behind us?
