Ed, the other day I came upon a young man double parked and passed out behind the wheel of his car at 6:30 in the morning. My wife called 911 and the Trenton police dispatch, and after 11 rings they picked up. Five minutes later the fire engine responded, followed by the EMS and then an ambulance. Twenty-five minutes after the call the Trenton police showed up. No wonder the police station got robbed.

Wow, you got a representative from each branch of the emergency services. Hope they aren’t sending you a bill. —Ed. Note
