Most of you reading this know who my best friend banana is. Frankly you should also know that the two of us together are effing hilarious. One day we wanted our other bff to not be mad at us anymore and since he had recently lost his cell phone, we said we "had it". SO rude of us but the outcome is hilarious. Banan went outside to check if he was on his way yet and came in to tell me there was a man laying on my lawn. Obviously I didn't believe her. (Also you all should know I live on one of the busiest streets). She kept insisting there was so I went outside and stood and stared at this grown man (probably mid 40's) laying in the middle of my lawn. First off, it was scorching hot since it was July. "HELLO!!!" "HELLOO ARE YOU ALIVE??" He wouldn't answer so I poked him with my foot in the stomach. I was way too scared he was going to attack so I kept a good distance. I yelled a couple more times and with no answer ran inside. Banana asked what I was doing. "CALLING 911 HE'S DEAD!!"
This is basically how that 911 call went.
"911 what's your emergency"
"THERE IS A DEAD MAN ON MY LAWN!!!"
"What!? Where are you? How do you know he's dead? Do you know him?? How did he die?"
"I DON'T KNOW ALL I KNOW IS THIS GUY IS DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LAWN I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS!!!"
Within 3 minutes just as our friend was coming to pick up his "cell phone", my street (like I said, one of the busiest streets) was blocked with 4 police cars, 1 ambulance, and 2 firetrucks. It was mayhem.
Banana and I watched the whole thing and just as the firefighter ran up to the man and the paramedic was checking his pulse, the man opened his eyes. Well we just wanted to crawl under a rock. The guy stood up, looked around in absolute shock, and then stared at us. The cop asked him what he was doing there and he said it was his "napping place. I sleep here all the time, every day."
Well, this guy was wasted at about 2 PM but I guess that's our town for ya.
Some cops were pretty pissed but the firefighters thought it was hilarious. Hopefully nothing was on fire that they should have been attending to.
This guy got on his bike and rode away. When the firefighters were talking to me they asked if a bike in the middle of a sidewalk ON the kickstand was an indication someone had died.
I was absolutely mortified.
life of me!
