Knowing British slang, it makes me snicker every time. I always wonder what British tourists think.

Fire drill. The first announcement from the FD representative was that "we have taken over your enuncerator system."
After that they explained the clever code by which you tell if it's a real emergency (the announcerator will say "This is the Chicago Fire Department") as opposed to some wrong-doer who is maybe trying to get to a certain individual and fake-evacuating an 80-story building was the plan they came up with (enuncerator will simply say "This is an emergency/fire/plague of locusts. Please evacuate the building") That enuncement we are to ignore.

One of the schools (maybe my mom's, I don't recall exactly) had a code for lockdown that was something about a coyote being in the parking lot. Which was actually useful the time there actually WAS a coyote in the parking lot at dismissal, however not so good for teachers' nerves. They changed the code.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh great. I'm going to get no work done for the rest of the day. We just sent out the annual survey and the responses are rolling in. I'm gonna be hitting refresh for the latest snark all afternoon (when I'm not being meetinged to death.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
When I worked at Penney's, we did not have rolled dimes. When we started we were trained that in times of emergency, we were to call the operator (of Penney's) and say we needed dimes. The only time I did this, the conversation went something like this:
ME: Hello, I need a roll of dimes.
OPERATOR: We don't have dimes here, didn't you know?
ME: Yes but I REALLY need a roll of dimes!
OPERATOR: I am sorry, but you can just use nickels!
ME: $#@#$!!!!
