911 emergencies?

+-------------- Bizarre 911 Emergency Calls  --------------+  

A thirty-year-old Maryland man called 911 and reported, "You gotta put out the fire, man. My marijuana plants are burning." When the fire-fighters team arrived they found the man sitting in his kitchen, in the dark, strumming his guitar.  

A man in La Vergne, Tennessee, called emergency 911 to report that he and his wife had had a fight and he needed police to come to his house and stop her from pouring out all his beer.  

Velma Ann Wantlin of Houma, Louisiana was issued a citation for improper use of the 911 emergency line.  Wantlin called 911 to report her husband for preventing her from watching the season finale of Knots Landing.  

[Dispatcher]  911. What's your emergency? [Caller] I'm scared. [Dispatcher]  What's the problem?  [Caller]  I just got a Ouija board for my birthday and now there's writing on my wall and I can't get it off....This thing is going back to Kmart first thing in the morning!  

[Dispatcher]  911.  What's your emergency? [Caller]  Could you send the police to my house? [Dispatcher]  What's wrong there? [Caller]  I called and someone answered the phone, but I'm not there.
