A unique phone call
"911 emergency services."
"Yes, hello. I just passed under Montrose Ave. in a canoe and the bridge is on fire."
"In a canoe?"
"Yes, on the Chicago River. In a canoe. The bridge is on fire from underneath. Smoke's billowing out across the river."
"Ah ... ok. We'll have the fire department out right away."
"Will you send fire boats that shoot water from giant nozzles?"
"Probably not, sir."
[frustrated grunt] "I'll keep paddling then. Good night."
