My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard

[XCashier]

Sometimes.....Its The Client
( This it the building manager I'm speaking with.... )

Me: “Alright, I have a call here for you from Constable <Name>”
OC: “What does he want?!”
Me: “He needs access to your building to respond to a 911 call.”
OC: “Well tell him to call a locksmith!”
...Me: “He’s from the RCMP, they need access to the building.”
OC: “Why?!”
Me: “They received a call from the building-“
OC: “Then why can’t who ever called them let them in?!”
...OC: “Call him back and make him tell you why he's there! <click>"

Of course you know this building manager is going to scream bloody murder when she finds her office ransacked and no sign of any police intervention.

Look, I know nobody likes to be woken up from a sound sleep, but if it's your business, you have to take care of it, sometimes at ugly hours. And really, it is in your best interests to be on good terms with the police. Methinks someone is not long for her job...

[Geek King]

I too desperately want to know what happened with the officer not being able to gain access. That could be an arrestable/firable offense easily.

Usually, if the police feel the call is urgent enough, they'll break down the doors. Depends on the situation and any differences in Canada vs. US law.

For some reason, I really hope they broke the hell out of some doors to gain access.

[Gravekeeper]

Building manager lucked out, honestly. One of the tenets let them in after they started buzzing randomly while waiting to hear back. Otherwise yeah, they can just kick in the door if its a sufficient level of emergency ( and I have had calls where they're calling not for access, but to advise we need to fix a door. ). They just prefer not too.

Luckily, they gained access while I was still arguing with the building manager. So I was spared having to try and explain to them that the building manager was a bitch. >.>

They were trying check up on a witness. What they witnessed, I know not. I didn't get a follow up "6 days, still warm" call so I assume all was well.

The flagger is a road worker right? Do road crew even have a dress code beyond hard hat and steel-toed boots?

No, they don't, far was I know. Hat, boots, gloves, visibility vest, thats about it really.

If it's rest you need, by all means, rest. I shall hold off the hordes of fans. With my shovel. The fruit will be all the sweeter for the ripening. Or some such.

I may yet take you up on this, as I ponder booking off for vacation.

#1 Threat

SC: “I’m not sure who to call.”
Me: “What’s the problem?
SC: “There’s a bear.”

You did tell him that your emergency line is for UNbearable situations?

Ghostbusters.

[Pagan]

SC: “He’s wearing shorts!”
Me: “……..alright?”
SC: “That’s against the dress code!”

How the hell would they know what the highway departments dress code is?

How the hell would they know what the highway departments dress code is?

..the same place all the SCs get their knowledge of law?

Somehow I imagine it must be like buying fake Simpsons shirts from the back of some random guy's car. "Sure they're real!" he says.

And then, the characters peel off the fabric...

"Well, seeing as how you refuse to go and let him in, I'll just advise him that his only recourse is to kick in the door"

No, they don't, far was I know. Hat, boots, gloves, visibility vest, thats about it really.

Just hats, boots, and vest? Thank you for that wonderful mental image, even more so than your velvet marble bag. :P

Frank Zappa & the Mothers Of Invention did an album about that: "Burnt Weeny Sandwich"

[Becks]

$800 worth of PANTS?!?!? Wow, I wonder how many pairs I could get if I hit up every Goodwill in my area code.

Its been so hot out lately that my dress code has been half naked in my underwear, with the barn door open and a fan aimed squarely at my velvet marble bag. Inside.

...I'm not sure how I feel about the mental image I'm getting.

Regret

C: “Hi, <Officer> here, I have a warm dead male-”

….Why did you do that? Why did you provide a temperature? Are you attempting to imply freshness? I do not need nor want to know these things.

C: “He’s been in the apartment for about 6 days, so he is gone.”

That is the opposite of freshness. Though I see now why you’re mentioning warmth as a factor. 6 days in the apartment in this weather with the windows closed......you didn’t know the true meaning of regret till you reached for that door knob, did you?

Can we have a few more details on this one? Please?

I like how a great many of us are unable to concentrate on much beyond GK's velvet Marble Bag.

800 dollars worth of pants is a lot even at the stores I shop from. You'd have between 15-20 pairs of pants. And i don't think GK's customers pay as much for their pants as I do.

The bears can pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax.

I've given up trying to resist. The image is far more alluring than most of my customers.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

I wonder if someone is going to try and start a REALLY EXPENSIVE pants business up north? It seems they all really like pants and caps. 'Coz it's cold there.

If it were me, I'd want to sell mp3 sunglasses at inflated prices. I'd sell 'em COD on a corkboard that's hung up at the little grocery store in town. They'd come by my trailer, order the sunglasses, then I'd go with them to their trailer and get the money. COD! Then we'd drink some Molson's and bloody up their kitchen floor with seal blubber and have us a time.

I know this 'coz I used to watch APTN in Montreal, at Christmastime. You know that show on Dec 24th, where they'd show a candle or something, and then you'd hear all these phone messages from Nunavut to PEI and back?

I watched that show for 3 hours.
