# Ambulance Run
When I was a teen, our phone number was one digit different from the local hospital.

One time, someone called our house saying that her husband was having a heart attack. I took the lady's information, phone number, told her to remain calm and that we'd send an ambulance right over.

They didn't call back, so after they waited long enough to wonder where the hell the ambulance was, they either got the number right the second time, or they had to call the morgue.

# Fumes of doom
At a party a friend and I squirted lighter gas in our mouths and lit the breath on its way out. Mini flamethrower, very funny. We told the party host that the flame came from alcohol fumes. He drank a vast amount of beer trying to copy us. No, we said. Spirits. Felt guilty when he threw up and passed out.

I've probably posted this in entirely the wrong place. Sorry. never posted here afore.

# thanks! and no
though the rumour was if you inhaled it properly YOUR LUNGS WILL FREEZE. Though this may have been someone else's big lie... It was just a school craze for a while. The worst effect was generally SES (Singed Eyebrow Syndrome)

# Oooh that reminds me of a similar story
Our number used to be the same as (but with a different dialling code) the incontinence clinic 7 miles down the road.

We used to get calls for it all the time, and usually would respond in a nice way and tell them the right number. One day, when things just weren't going right, there came a call for the incontinence clinic. Which I took as if I worked there. Manky details and all. Cheered me up no end, I can tell you.

My phone number was one digit off the actual hospital's number, not the emergency number. Which is 911 over here.
