[Vulcanccit]

LOOOOONG ago, I had a 400 channel radio shack scanner with the cellular modification... I took it to Vegas once and I kept hearing a call from an Escort.... she called in and asked about where she was supposed to go as she just finished with her last customer... they said something like...ok you are to go now to the MGM Room 287 to see Daniel....she said ok...am I Holly or Brigitte? (you hear some typing on a computer....) um you are actually Marcy on this call... lol I would of thought they just would of used the the same name.... not sure how funny this post is, but I thought it was funny at the time and still do lol. Hope you enjoy.

Or worse, Bubbles or Bambi.

I remember clearly my grandfather telling me in jest to "never bring a girl named Bubbles or Bambi home to meet your parents".

Lol at the male names! using the same scanner, and this was when I lived in Salt Lake City, Ut...a cell call comes up... 2 guys talking... it seemed to be a conversation about a construction job... describing the area...outside, trucks, skip loaders....then... something like "men working out in the sun... (I was half paying attention to the call)....hard hats on.....no shirts.... then I hear one of the callers moaning... so I guess I stumbled upon a 1900-constructionporntalk call lol. I remember I was soldering something and I stopped and looked at the scanner...I Called my wife down....come listen to this...is this what I think it is??? we laughed.... I never heard it again lol but this call mentioned no names, just described the "work site" lol

"Baker 15, and ONLY Baker 15, please respond to a report of a woman, approximately 22 years of age, blonde hair, 5 feet, 120 lbs running down the street. She appears to be intoxicated and is not wearing clothes. Repeating, Baker 15 ONLY, please respond."

He's like sure thing I'll check this out Man, there can so many weird and interesting people out there! if someone says this world is boring, I'll just laugh at him. This world is crazy!

Similar, Growing up in Spokane, anytime there was a "call for service" (See what I did there....) at a certain "Gentlemen's Club" almost every unit in the Valley would respond, even some city units would respond. These calls were not always fight calls (which I would understand a large response). Intoxicated male passed out in his vehicle, suspicious persons call.

More than once I heard a Sgt get on the radio and cancel units that were responding. "District one and two, take that call, all other units return to your areas, City units, your assistance is not required and should return to the city, and I'll contact your Sgt if I see your cars here." LOL

This last weekend while watching planes at the airport. A pilot requested permission to taxi to the runway. So the ATC asked if he was planning to takeoff. It just struck me as funny as if he was gonna take the plane on the interstate instead.

Dispatch for a vehicle fire
On arrival unable to locate
After a few mins

FD: Dispatch, the lady hollering her car was about to blow up decided to drive off according to a witness. We'll be available.

If there was a flight school, it might be a legit question, vs learning how to taxi, read runway signs, etc. Im not a pilot so no idea how this is done, but I know driving school does stuff like this all the time.

We've often taxied down the runway to get somewhere on the airport like an engine run bay if it's not busy and it's far shorter than going around the perimeter or other routes.

A few days ago I overheard an FBI agent call Garland County (Arkansas) Dispatch to report an erratic driver had forced him off the road into a ditch while passing his vehicle at high speed.

Dispatch: Will you need a tow truck?
Agent: Yes, but more immediately, my on-board surveillance equipment captured his license number xxxxx.
Dispatch: 10-4 we will dispatch a tow truck and send one of our Deputy's to the subject's home.

Shortly afterwards several deputies as well a pair of Hot Springs PD cars were dispatched. They got the driver as he pulled into his driveway and arrested him. Seems he was a 16 year old with no license and drunk as a skunk!

It's possible but this is a large commercial airport but has a great deal of general aviation too. It was foggy and much de-icing activity that that may have contributed to that. It still sounded funny.

So this was funny in general to listen to yesterday overall, nothing specifically said

Fire Dept is called for a vehicle fire, gets there, nothing found. Witness reports driver drove off after hollaring about her car about to explode and "catch fire". About this time dispatch gets another call from local PD saying they are out with the vehicle, driver is having altered mental status and EMS is requested. After EMS gets there, either they or PD tell dispatch that the driver has activated OnStar in the car, and is trying to again say the car is on fire, not to dispatch if the call is received. EMS transported shortly thereafter thankfully.

Fire buddy remarked also listening: someone needs to just go out there with a can, spray the car down and shed be fine, no more imaginary fire, it got put out!

I'm sure calls like that come in all over the place. Grandpa Simpson likes to yell at clouds.

He was just criticizing their poor taste in landscaping. This is why you always pay extra for a quality contractor.

Just heard this exchange between a couple of city bus drivers about a main thoroughfare that's tied up by heavy traffic for a good ten blocks or so:
"Where's everybody going?"
"Guess they're all out hunting for eggs."

just heard a 747 pilot replying to a request to circle... "That's ok, I have so much patience, I should of been a doctor"
