Urgent Code 33
It was April 1st, and in a small midwestern town, two rookie policemen were patrolling the downtown business area. They decided to stop at the local coffee shop for a coffee and a donut. The time was 11:55 AM.
Three minutes later, they got a call on their police radio: “Code 33 in progress, man in bank dressed as a banana.”
Well, there was only one bank in town, in fact, it was just across from the coffee shop. A code 33 was an “armed robbery” but it was also just 11:58 AM and the two rookies decided it was the dispatcher playing a joke on them just before lunch. So they continued enjoying their coffee break.
At 12:01 PM, they got a second call on their radio, “Repeat, Urgent, code 33 in progress, man in bank dressed as a banana.”
Realizing it was past noon and the dispatcher sounded frantic, they rushed across the street — but arrived 30 seconds after the banana split.
Child Leashes
While watching my grandson’s baseball game, I saw a young mother with her toddler on one of those child leashes.
She was talking with another mom about an incident that happened earlier that morning.
Her little chihuahua was sick, and she had raised people’s eyes as she walked into the vet’s office with her dog in her arms and her child on a leash.
All I could think was, “What’s wrong with this picture!”
Survival
The hacker hit the ball into the rough and landed on an anthill.
He tried three times to hit the ball and each time he missed the ball and hit the anthill. Ants went flying all over the place.
One ant turned to the other ant and said, “If we are going to survive, we better get on the ball.”
