Not Something To Horse Around About
(We’ve just had a major accident in town. It’s a small department, and only one officer is on. A lady calls about fireworks going off near her house.)
Me: “Good evening, [town] Police.”
Caller: “There are fireworks going off and my horse is very upset!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but right now all calls that are not priority are being held. We have a major accident in town. Our officers cannot leave the scene right now.”
Caller: “You mean to tell me that’s more important than my horse? He’s really upset! He’s crying!”
Me: “I wasn’t aware horses could cry. I will let the officer know.”
Caller: “You people should get your priorities straight! My horse is more important than any accident!” *hangs up*
