But not in the way you may think.

actually not that funny. I trust this guy is not going to the Spelling Bee this year. He doesn't have any mail on the table? Off of which he could read, provided he can read? I hope his wife is OK. In reality, the bigger idiot here is the one taking the call. Who had way better access to dictionaries & to computers with built in spell-stuff, I'd bet.

I've heard that joke before.

But this one is real. My sister sent it to me from a calendar she had, and it cracks us up:



"Dispatcher: "911."Female Caller: "I am trapped in my house."Dispatcher:

"Trapped? Is someone holding you there?"Female Caller: "Someone? No. But

there is a frog on the front porch."Dispatcher: "A frog?"Female Caller:

"Yes, a frog."Dispatcher: "Okay, but what is preventing you from leaving

the house?"Female Caller: "I told you. There is a frog on the front porch

and I am afraid of frogs."Dispatcher: "And you don't have another door to

the house?"Female Caller: "No. There is only one door and I can't get out

of the house with the frog sitting there."Dispatcher: "Why don't you take a

broom and sweep the frog off the porch?"Female Caller: "I can't do that. I

told you, I am afraid of frogs. He might get me."Dispatcher: "Um...I'm not

sure I can help you with

this."
