Babooze award!
Mar. 25th, 2005 10:19 pmI heard this story on the radio a couple of weeks ago but after reading
ionotter's posting on calling 911 over a food item, I had to put this one in.
I don't think I mentioned it before, though I do remember telling the story to a couple of friends at least:
A radio station (don't remember where) had people call in and describe the worst thing they had ever done. Now the object of this is to be creative... I don't remember if the best story won a prize or what.
Now most of the stories are pretty amusing. Then this one guy calls in. (The station played a recording of the call but I'm writing it from memory myself):
DJ: "Hello... what's the worst thing you've done?"
Caller: "I robbed a bank."
DJ: "Oh?"
Caller: "Yeah, me and a few other guys... we robbed this bank a couple of months ago...."
The caller then proceeded to give varying details... while elsewhere in the same city, a cop is listening to the radio and recognizes the case from all the details.
A quick call back to the dispatcher to trace the call to the radio station, and the cops show up and nail the guy within a few minutes. And oh yeah... did I mention the case had gone cold before the guy called in to the radio station?
"Ba-ba-ba-booze, ba-booze, babooze, babooze..."
