Residents of Bridgeport, Michigan, recently got an unusual response when they called the local state police post. Instead of getting an answer from a dispatcher, callers heard a recorded message prompting residents to "Indulge yourself with the most exciting conversation imaginable," followed by the number for a phone sex line. Unless you're suffering from priapism, a phone sex line isn't exactly what you want to hear in an emergency. The phones have been fixed, but the state police have had to admit that the illicit prompt wasn't the fault of the phone company.
According to Sergeant Alan Renz, this is an "internal issue that has nothing to do with the phone company." Oops. An investigation is under way to determine why someone working at the police post decided to route calls to the hottest singles in the Bridgeport area. (Thanks to DIW for the tip) [AP via WXYZ-TV]

Hello, and welcome to the Springfield Police Department Resc-u-Fone[tm]. If you know the name of the felony being committed, press one. To choose from a list of felonies, press two. If you are being murdered or calling from a rotary phone, please stay on the line.
You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press one.
"These guys are professionals, they will take it the absolute limit before they strip."
"That man's arm just flew off... and landed on the dock."
@ash78: I nearly cried when I saw that episode. That was one where Homer becomes obese so he can work at home, right?
@johnnyichiban: It's the one where Bart breaks his leg and thinks he sees Flanders murdering Maude.
@BlackIce_GTS: yes. "Schumann Farms Head of Lettuce"
@Seth L: Oh, Arrested Development... I miss you...
@ash78: *Chief Wiggum voice*
No... sorry, you have the wrong number, this is 912.

Oh man, I can't get enough of hot cop-on-cop action...wait a minute, yes I can.
Is that a nightstick or are you just glad to arrest me?
@johnnyichiban: Different one, though that one's a riot, too. This is the one where bart breaks his leg and thinks Flanders is a mass murderer. And Lisa becomes temporarily popular because of the swimming pool.
Ok, good post and all, but I just needed to say the word car in the comments to keep things germane. Car.
@teargas: with rack & peanut steering.
@teargas: Keep things germane? Someone already mentioned a 912.
Speaking of steering, I wish these cops would stop breaking my ball nuts...
Jeebus, my grandmother lives in Bridgeport. What are those cops doin' down at the station? Must be the Policemen's Other Ball.
and THAT'S why you never trust the phone company! One of the best "lessons" to learn.
It's the final countdown!
