Tales From Dispatch, Pt. 26

ME: *looking over calls for service* What are my favorite idiots getting up to today? *phone rings* ME: Dispatch, this is Fran. Northtown PD: Hey, this is Dispatcher with the Northtown Police Department. We've got an 18-wheeler headed southbound on HGWY 25 into your jurisdiction and part of the back end is on fire. Our officers tried to pull it over, but the vehicle wouldn't stop. ME: *eyebrows on hairline while entering a reckless vehicle call* All right. Did your caller happen to get a license plate? NPD: No, they didn't. Just that it's a fertilizer truck, headed southbound into your jurisdiction with the back end on fire. ME: All right. We'll get some folks out there and see if we can get them stopped. NPD: Thanks. Have a good night! *call disconnected* ME: My favorite idiots get to chase down actual flaming poops. Okay.
