Save the Squirrels!
Submitted by: Unknown
As a former emergency 9-1-1 telecommunicator, my favorite story
is the time a man called in an emergency about a squirell that
was up a telephone pole and could not get down. Not wanting to
laugh in the "face" of the caller, I questioned him if this was
truly an emergency....he became very distressed and repeated that
it was...so I calmly asked him if he had ever seen a squirell
skeleton on a telephone pole, or in a tree for that matter? After a
short pause, he told me that it was probably foolish for him to
call about this... I told him no, it wasn't, but remember that that also
goes for cats and kittens that are up a tree. He laughed and
thanked me for being a little humorous about the situation
