A Noble Suggestion

As many of you know, I work at BYU police as a dispatcher. We are subject to random odd calls and strange people. Just yesterday we received a call from an asian woman that had a brilliant suggestion for the miners that are stuck. Oh, and did I mention that she called 911 to tell us this? Yes, she did. She said "This isn't an emergency for me, (all of this is in hard to understand broken engrish) but I was watching the news and I have an idea for the miners- you know how they are drilling holes and putting a camera down there? I think you need to drop the mujic (music). I think that they are tired and maybe they don't have enough energy to get back. You need to drop the mujic so that they have hope." ...... ...... right. I'm sure the sound of drills giving freedom to a blocked chamber wouldn't give much hope to them. Thanks mujic lady.

Jaime said...

What??? She thought giving them music would be better then like, food, air, water? What a wack job.

Oh so many people living in their own reality - far far from real reality! There are so many strange people around. I'm not sure more enjoyable is the word - although I admire those sentiments Mand, certainly they can be interesting - I think my word is annoying.

Personally I thought it was sweet...having listened to the call, she was just concerned. I think she was hispanic though (did you mean enlish and not engrish???) :)

Well, I have never heard of enlish before, but yes, I meant engrish.
