JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, 911 OPERATOR.

Posted in Oddly..., Classics by Elliott Back on February 17th, 2007. [Del.icio.us]

This is just too funny:

OPERATOR: 911. What is your urgence?
CALLER: Operator, I need an ambulance. I think I just cut my finger off in the blender …
OPERATOR: (The sound of a cigarette being lit, then an exhale.)

We should do this for all of our favorite philosophers.  I call Jean Jacques Rousseau!
