prelude to a Full Moon...

"ma'am, I hate to bother you but my neighbor is using a chain saw at this hour {0306} and I need you to tell him to stop, I mean the noise he is making is between him and god, but I need my sleep...I'm not a rat or anything, I just need him to stop, do you realize it it raining outside, he could slip and get his arm!  I get along with my neighbors but I don't want them to know I called, they would hate me more so we will keep this OUR secret, ok? ok, now you have a blessed day and good bye"

YES, pretty much all in one breath with the exception of me being able to obtain her address, this is how the 1-sided conversation went!!

Dispatcher: what is his birthday ma'am?

Caller: the same as mine just a different year

{dead silence} ....

Dispatcher: ma'am, I don't know your birthday..

Caller: oh oh it is .... as she recited her birthday and then his year

people truly never cease to amaze me, ignorance IS pure bliss!
