Here in Bandera Co, TX, we hear loose livestock all the time. No real "funny mentions" but it's incredibly common. And so often its someone who tied out their cow (with a rope) outside of the fence to "mow" the side of the road.

One from yesterday on a school bus TG. Female driver calls in the a little boy just pee'd on the floor in the bus. She said he did it yesterday in a bottle but wrote him up then too. She said that he exposed himself since he took out that thing to do it.
Funny but it makes me glad I'm not a kid with kids literally acting like animals.

Heard a short time ago on the Aircraft Emergency frequency of 121.500 MHz at 3:30AM... FedEx flight 1419 reported seeing "strange lights in the sky, about 30 degrees above my flight deck" as he was flying north of Little Rock Arkansas. According to the flight tracker website he was flying at an altitude of 34,000 feet at the time.

Never heard of the mowing but Id believe it. More could see someone using a goat or sheep to do it though.

I use to live in Northern Arizona (Ash Fork) near the Grand Canyon. Arizona is a "free roam" state so it was common to see a herd of 20-30 cows wandering around the streets. And you didn't mess with them, even though the babies were cute as a button. It was up to the residents to have good fences, to keep the cows off of their property. If you complained to the rancher that the cows knocked down your fence, they would just tell you to put up a better fence. Every so often one of the babies would squeeze through the fence and mom couldn't get to them. Then there was a lot of noise and confusion, until we went out to the field and helped the little guy find his mom. Very often, the mom would thank you.

Last week one of the officers asked the shift commander to come to the dispatch room and he answered, "I'll be right there, I'm 10-100 for a minute." 😂 I didn't even know they had that code in their list.

Somewhere long ago I ran across a list of '12-codes' - not known to be in any general use anywhere, but they included things like 'coming in to Dispatch to rearrange your face' and 'Chief can't answer you right now, he's in the sandbox' and 'Don't give me any snark, officer or I'll send you on a barking dog call 10 miles off your beat!'

I could feel the love, just reading it. Wish I could find it now.

Listening to St. Louis city this morning.

Don’t know the words verbatim but it went something like this :

Refuse truck driver calls into dispatch

“I just got shot at! Black lady running after me telling me I forgot to get her trash”

Dispatch replies “officer enroute”

Well geez if you're gonna shoot at the driver, I can't imagine why they don't want to stop at her house.

Something heard during the Tornado outbreak in eastern Iowa Friday. After toning out a call for a rescue, the Dispatcher said "all units be advise there are reports of a grain bin in the middle of the road at (gave the address)".

JUST HAPPENED: An officer was dispatched to the street I live on for a 911 open line, dispatcher advised it sounded like children playing with a phone and couldn't get a parent to answer him. I know the officer that was responding, I went on a ride-along with him last year. The address was changed to 7th Street because he misunderstood what they were saying, and after a while the officer said: "10-8. Spoke to (name redacted). Juvenile was counciled. He advised that he just wanted to meet us."

That was the best/funniest thing I've heard all day. 😂

Dispatcher: "Report of 3 naked males in the swimming pool who do not live there. The caller says they are small lads... I mean young."
