My gut reactions would be "Is he still moving? Shoot him again."

Yeah, that would be bad...Good for them, but bad for you...Its that darn tape recording that gets ya in the end...

I think the TSA gig is a better deal for ya...

Duh!

911 is not much of a priority with me, other than if I (or the Wife Unit) has time, and is not actively engaging a BeeGee...They might get a call at that particular juncture...

Otherwise, its:

"911 operator, is this a fire, police or medical emergency?"

"Hi there...My name is Steve blah blah blah..."

"Yes sir?"

"Well, I guess this might be a combo deal...I didn't hear you say coroner, so you might give them a holler too just to save a nickle on the call..."

Hehehe, who was it that gave me a hard time about going "hands free" on my wireless a while back???

Here's another opportunity...

At least I'm not a hippie...
