Dumbest thing heard on the radio

Wow if meowing got me fired, I would be in trouble spent the weekend Mooing at dispatch; and when security asked for a better description of the cows (meaning better location) I spent 3 minutes describing what cows looked like

2. I'm not tying up firefighters, let alone potential injuring one for that call.

I've done this one before:
PD dispatch:"123 10-25(go to)xyz middle of nowhere (probably 40 miles from his current location and 10 miles from indoor plumbing) for an alarm".
123: copy, enroute
(2 minutes later alarm company cancels)
PD dispatch: dispatch, 123
(silence)
PD dispatch: dispatch, 123
123:10-12 (standby) dispatch (in a particularly nasty a-hole tone)
(35 minutes pass, mind you no other calls have come along)
123:10-23(on location)
PD Dispatch: 10-4, you can 10-22 (disregard) alarm company canceled 35 min ago...

En route to an unknown medical when we got an update from dispatch.

"RP stated that they have gained entry to the apartment and advised that there are feces literally everywhere before they disconnected."

That would be my cue to put in a second piece of gum. Talk about your heart sinking!

"Deputies advise that patient is most likely dead." If they call it in like that, it's time for more mints.

I didnt hear it but I caused it.

We were posted by the zoo today and a peacock kept making noise. I was bored so I youtubed peakcock calls.
I key up the PA and let it play. To my surprise the peacock responded. For the LOL's I did it again just as my partner keyed up to ackowledge a post move.

Dispatch: medic 11 post 4
Medic 11: *peacock noises*
Dispatch: medic 11 could you repeat?
Medic 11: were clear
Dispatch: (uncontrollable laughter) much better

I called dispatch after to see if it was broadcast. He laughed when I told him what I was doing. He also informed me the wolves howl at sirens at night.........been trying to get back to the zoo.
