Okay, for anyone who doesn't know (most likely all of you) I work at an alarm system company monitoring alarms. We gat some strange stuff happening, and some odd phone calls, but tonight I had a phone call that takes the cake for Wierdest Phone Conversation of the Month (tm) and maybe even wierdest of the year. Here it is as best I recall:
[Phone rings]
Me: Dispatch, this is Chris.
Woman: Hello, this is [her name--don't recall] with the Sacramento Valley Sheriff's Department. Is this the alarm company that monitors for the [specific store] Kentucky Fried Chicken?
Me: Most likely, we monitor for a lot of them. Let me check. [pause as I try to get a useful response from our crappy search system] Yep. That's us.
Woman: Oh, good. We have had an incident in which a car ran into the building. There is no damage.
Me [nearly laughing]: Wow...I see...
Woman: It was during a high speed pursuit by the Sheriff's Dept. We do not see any damage to the structure. Could I give you a case number and have you relay it to the store owner?
Me: Of course...let me get a pen...
It went on from there, but that's the funny part.
But man...a car hitting a store. That makes me laugh. So if any of Californians see anything on the news about a KFC on Jay Street in Sacramento being hit by a car...that's the one.
I wonder if this will sound as funny to people who are not bored and tired like me...
