Paddy’s friend is hit by a car so he phones for an ambulance.
Paddy: “Get an ambulance here quick, he’s bleeding from his nose and ears and I tink both his legs are broke.”
Operator: “What’s your location sir?”
Paddy: “Outside number 28 Eucalyptus Street…”
Operator: “How do you spell that sir?”
Silence…. (heavy breathing).
Operator: “Are you there sir?”
More heavy breathing. A minute later….
Operator: “Sir, can you hear me?”
Repeated and repeated until….
Operator in panic mode: “Sir, please answer me. Can you still hear me?”
Paddy: “Sorry bout dat… I couldn’t spell Eucalyptus, so I’ve dragged him round to number 3 Oak Street .”
