The Tomato
The emergency number is 911. The emergency number is for emergencies. An emergency is a fire. An emergency is a crime. An emergency is an accident. Steve dialed 911. “What is your emergency?” asked the dispatcher. “They put a tomato on my hamburger,” said Steve. “Excuse me?” said the dispatcher. “They put a tomato on my hamburger. I hate tomatoes. I told them no tomatoes!” The dispatcher said, “Sir, a tomato is not an emergency.” The dispatcher hung up. Steve dialed 911 again. “What is your emergency?” asked the same dispatcher. “They put a tomato on my hamburger. I hate tomatoes!” Steve said. The dispatcher asked, “Where are you? I will send the police.” Steve said he was at Burger King. The police arrived at Burger King. They put Steve in the back of their police car. They took him to jail.
紧急电话是911。只有紧急情况才拨打紧急电话。火情紧急。案情紧急。事故紧急。史蒂夫拨打了911。调度员问道；“您有什么紧急情况？”史蒂夫说：“他们在我的汉堡上放了个番茄。”调度员说：“您说什么？”他们在我的汉堡上放了番茄。我讨厌番茄。我告诉他们不要番茄！调度员说：“先生，番茄不是紧急情况。”调度员挂断了电话。史蒂夫又打了911。还是这名调度员，他问道：“什么紧急情况？”史蒂夫说：“他们在汉堡上放了番茄。我讨厌番茄！”调度员问道：“您在哪？我将派警员过去。”史蒂夫说他在汉堡王。警员抵达汉堡王。他们将史蒂夫押解上后座。他们将送他去监狱。
