Semi blew both saddle tanks, spilled 200 gal:
"wants to avoid a tow bill, repair it and drive it off" "hes sitting in a puddle of diesel."

Flex seal tape and glue may do the job.
From what I heard, the issue was the fuel line, not the tanks themselves. Normally around here, if a fuel tank pops a hole, toilet wax ring is the go-to. Its non reactive, and hazmat approved. Some flex seal tape will react with some fuels.
He ended up having to wait until they got the fuel pumped off and vacced off the ground. Dude sounded like he was an independant trucker, had no insurance, and therefore no plan on what to do if this happened (most truck companies have insurance/plans for this exact situation, it aint cheap and needs to be dealt with quickly). Thankfully the local agencies do. So hes going to end up with a massive bill and probably a ticket out of this.

Someone told me once that he heard a guy talking sweetly to his wife on his analog cell and then he hung up and immediately called his mistress for weekend planning.

definitely a classic cellphone call for sure. You used to hear calls like that too on HF Ship/Shore phone patches also. Though sometimes with the second mistress being another man some times. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Heard today. "It's dead, it's bloated and I ain't picking it up."
Okay, now that's a good one.

Blondie Once Said To Call Her But Never Answerd
Ah, New York city taxi cab drivers...
Heard on the local county fire dispatch for an EMS call for someone that needed help to know about their medicine and what to take.
Guess they had some confusion and sounds like a bad use of emergency medical service. Maybe they shouldn't be left alone.

“Dispatch, Medic 31, the transfer you gave us is ALS. We are a BLS truck.”
“Medic 31… I knew that… You passed the test.”
“Medic 31… I knew that… You passed the test.”
Ambulance transporting a combative patient to the hospital, so police were riding along.
After the usual relay of patient info, the hospital asks, "Do you need "Dr. Strong" on arrival or is he being cooperative?".
The EMT responds, "I already have friends with guns, so however you want to handle it".

Dang that is bad
I thought someone in FL stuck jumper cables from a 220 Dryer/Washer to his **** was bad enough.
