9/11! 911! Morne plaine!
Amusing conflation of two recent posts, one by [info]candid, referring to this:

All About America in 3 Days - Los Angeles Times: "'Po-LEESE! Po-LEESE!' the students recited in unison, practicing a 911 call.

Coming from a country without government or law, the idea that help is only a phone call away amazed Yussuf, whose parents were killed and who is traveling to the U.S. alone. 'So if anyone bothers me, I just call 911 and the police come and beat them?' she asked. 'Life must be very easy.'"
The other post is by [info]ana, referring to this recording of a woman who called 911 because Burger King did not fulfill her order fast enough. ''Oh my god, oh my god, I am so hungry, please, this is an emergency".

This is my delayed celebration of 9/11. I hope you had a nice 9/11 too.

The Burger King recording is awesome. I love Southern California. I'm so glad I don't live there.

9/11 was awesome, too, because I could watch those buildings collapse over and over again and never get tired of it. Too bad I was stuck at work beating the terrorists by keeping the economy running. Goddammit.
