Dwarf Refused Aid by Emergency Services

[neonlyte]

A pony with short legs and a long body has caused numerous people to call the emergency services in the mistaken belief she is stuck in the mud.

I wonder if these same concerned people call the emergency services when they see a human presumed to be in difficulties, or simply assume 'fuck 'em' and drive on?

Also, the assumption that the pony is a 'she' smacks of gender inequality, though it is possible that the people who call Emergency spent their young lives combing the mane of their very own 'My Little Pony', not one of whom ever boasted a dick.

It's legal to call 911 (999) in the event of a horse being stuck in the mud???

Apparently

But it's not as bad as this one:

Divorcee rang 999 to find new boyfriend

A desperate housewife has been reported for wasting police time in Germany after dialling 999 more than 100 times in the hope of finding a new husband.

Divorcee Angela Stahl, 44, plagued the emergency line with endless calls claiming she couldn't afford dating agencies.

Two officers finally visited her home in Berlin, Germany - and confiscated the battery from her mobile phone.

A police spokesman said: "We warned her on a number of occasions that she was using the emergency services line inappropriately and she could face serious consequences.

"Emergency services is exactly what it is called - a service for emergencies - and not a dating agency. Having no boyfriend is not an emergency.

"Our officers have explained this to the woman and she has promised to contact more appropriate bodies to help her find a boyfriend."

Stahl explained: "I was desperate. I did not know where else to turn."
