"(Chief's UID) to (Department) fire monitors...all Department officers are directed to report to Station 2 for detail at 20:00 hours."

IYKYK...the Department only had one station, and "Station 2" was a bar in town.

We had a snowstorm and I was listening to IDOT plow drivers. One of them said they heard they could work remote tomorrow.

OSHP 1765: "1765 - 709, 1526, do either of you need anything before I go 1-25 (out of service, going home)?"

1526: "If you could change the weather, that would be nice."

1765: "Negative. 1765 - Cambridge, I'm 1-25."

Cambridge: "1765. And 709 doesn't need anything."

1765: "Okay."

Thinking back a little bit to something not so much "funny or odd" as a comspec who really loved his work and put some real thought into it, but it made for some pretty entertaining listening...first example, he would respond to incoming calls with exactly the same delivery as they came in so you definitely knew which call he was answering, even if for example the incoming sounded like a unit trying to remember his number:

Trooper: "3Geeeeeeeee4-2 Schoharie."
Comspec: "Schoharie's on, 3Geeeeeeeee4-2."

Second example, he realized two communities (Cobleskill and Conesville) could sound very similar over the air, so he drew out the name for one:

"Schoharie County 911 to all Cobleskill fire monitors..."
versus
"Schoharie County 911 to all COANZZZZZ-villllle fire monitors..."

The county got more than its fair share of SHTF moments, and this guy was always in control, but still in a quite entertaining way.

Heard what sounded like DEA agents out on a bust when one agent mentioned their 20 the other agent said to "shut your mouth."

Yesterday afternoon on the county sheriff's channel. Heard the county coroner and the local PA DCNR ranger talking back and forth about something. Turns out the ranger was apparently following some kind of animal "walking stubbornly down the road" as he put it, and the coroner was bringing grain, hay, and a lead rope, I'm guessing in an attempt to catch it.

In all my years of listening to scanners, yesterday evening was the first time I'd heard a call like this...

Dispatcher to unit: area check at 25th and (couldn't understand what street she said). Caller states that a male in an SUV by the U-Haul was m*sturbating and asking passersby for s*xual favors.

That happened last year here as well. A guy in his vehicle at the mall and asking passing women if it was ok if he could pleasure himself to them. I guess some people are very forward in their intentions, at least he asked I suppose

I wonder if anyone offered OC (pepper spray) as a way to spice up his activities?

Vehicle crashed into a backyard. Dispatch reported they are on the phone with the homeowners stating that the no so coherent driver relayed to them he was shot. Police & EMS updated of possible GSW situation. Police arrived on scene with update that the driver was in fact not suffering from any gunshot but a DUI investigation was started. Presumably the driver stating he was "shot" was not by a firearm, but by the liquor bottle

"he mentioned several sniper rifles, barbed wire, and grenades in the home" - Dispatcher
