"911 Tole Me To Call a Pawn Shop!"

Mark this one up as one of the most ridiculous calls yet.

(Phone rings, I answer it with our store name.)

Woman: (Sounding panicked, all but hyperventilating) "Yeah I don't have no joory, no T.V., no nuthin' like that, but I been having chest pains!"
Me: "It sounds like you need to call 911!"
Woman: "Oh I already been in the hospital but I need nitro pills and the hospital told me to go to a pawn shop!"
Me: "If you were already in the hospital and you are having chest pains you do need to call 911, this is serious, you could die!"
Woman: (exasperated) "Nah I done been in the hospital, 911 told me to call you!!"
Me: "Wow you sound REALLY BAD, I mean you sound like you could keel over any minute, you better call 911 right now!"
Woman: (in regular tone of voice) "Thank you" (CLICK!)

I wonder if that ever works for them, anywhere??
