The cops are cracking up on the scanner
I guess there's a visiting Drug agent or something. He busted someone assaulting another when he was walking down the street. His last name is "Condor" so everytime the radio operator says, "Agent Condor" you hear laughter in the background.

Ahh, the RCMP, so noble.

1. My mom used to be a dispatcher for the Highway Patrol.
One time, she said on the radio that she received a call about someone who was "driving erotically".

That busted the troopers up pretty good. One of them almost crashed because he was laughing so hard.

2. Now I finally do have to tell you that everytime I see your
squirrel-picture I'm laughing. And it's not all that easy to get me laughing these days. It's great :)

stories. My favorite was when one of the officers I knew said he and his partner were out with a suspect who was ready to start fighting them when their dispatcher came on and sent some cops to a big "fart party". It was a frat party. He said everything just stopped he looked at the suspect and he was looking at him and they all started laughing. Really broke the ice that time. Good ending from that one at least.

7. I dispatched for several years
We had a deputy out serving a warrant to this woman but all she had on was a rug. Yeah, a rug. She wanted the deputy to help her dress but he was begging on the radio for assistance because he couldn't help her get dressed. You should have heard him yelling for help. It was funny.

9. Sounds like a Monty Python sketch
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 04:50 PM by skygazer
There was one in which John Cleese kept showing up as a Scotland Yard inspector and all the names he used were animal names (Inspector Fox of the Yard, Inspector Leopard of the Yard, etc.) Stupidly hysterical.

edited to add - my favorite was "Inspector Thompson's Gazelle of the Yard"
