Well I don't know if it's dumb but we had an extremely slow day so the dispatchers played jeopardy over the radio. The first 3 crews to get 3 answers right got to go home early. Sadly I was not in one of those crews that won

Our radio and station PA mikes were identical and next to one another.
Old GE's, just like the mike they use on "HOUSE, MD" in the MRI room set.
So, on-air chow calls etc., and "10-4" 's on the station's speakers (followed by raucous laughter), were common whenever a new guy went into the alarm room.
If I knew a guy was asleep (nothing on air for an hour) in Patrol 13 on the flightline, I'd just key up and say "10-4, 13".
"Uh, mrble mmmf, uh, 10-4 Control. What was that?".
"Nothing, 13. Go 10-8".

Heard this one the other day.
Dispatch: XYZ fire respond to 1234 main street, a man down, unconscious not breathing, with difficulty breathing.
Thought that one was kinda obvious, but hey you never know.

I heard this in one of my first ride outs, just kind of an odd moment late at night after a busy busy day:
Dispatch: "Champion pre-alert...uh....someone I think..."
Us: please not us../
Dispatch: "Champion pre-alert (our town)"
*tones*
Dispatch: "Champion (####) please respond to a possible appendix rupture, patient stated her husband is complaining of very high abdominal pain, priority 1"
Us: "(####) champion received, en route."
*Halfway to scene out in the county*
Dispatch: "Champion (####) disregard 911 call. Pt. has apparently broken wind and his pains are...alleviated. Return to post."
Us: "Received"
