Calling the Blawnox 911 system usually results in being put on hold for several minutes, than being asked and re-asked the same questions (What is the supposed nature of your supposed problem? Are you sure? Can you fix it yourself? Are you sure? Do you have insurance? Are you sure? Are you really sure? Did it lapse? Are you sure? Did you send in last month’s payment? Are you sure? Do they accept on-line payments? Are you sure? Are you really sure? What sort of service do you need? Are you sure? Are you really sure? What makes you an expert in determining emergency services? What did you just say to me? What did you call me? Are you sure? Are you really really sure? Do you talk to your mother like that? Are you sure?) then being put on hold again. It’s estimated that 92% of all deaths in Blawnox occur while the deceased is on the line with 911. ---
