Random Thoughts – April 1st


Is This Legit? Woman Locked in Her Car Calls 911

Orlando - A 911 dispatcher had to tell a woman how to unlock her car on Sunday. A woman called Kissimmee police to say she was locked inside her car at the Walgreen's on John Young Parkway near Poinciana. "My car will not start. I'm locked inside my car," the unidentified woman said. "Nothing electrical works. And it's getting very hot in here, and I'm not feeling well." The dispatcher asked the woman if she was able to manually pull the lock up on the door. The woman said she would try, and then, she said, "Yes, I got the door open."

Because it's April 1st, I have my guard up more than usual today for internet hoaxes. But that's not the only reason I think this story might not be on the level. It sounds suspiciously like one of those lame "BlondeStar" bits that every FM Morning Zoo DJ in the world thought were hilarious about three years ago. On the other hand, this allegedly happened in Florida, and there's no level of stupidity I'd put beyond the grasp of the slack jawed yokels living in God's On Deck Circle. Besides that, I have one hard & fast rule when it comes to believing something. And that is, I'll believe anything so long as it's something I want to be real. And I really hope this story is real. A story like this is the reason 912 was invented. Or should be. But in the interest of democracy, I'll put it up to a vote. Vote "10" for it's real and "1" for "April Fool's, sucka."
