911 Is A Joke

Surprised that Opus has access to a phone inside the toilet. This was long before cellphones became common.

you want frightening? have your wife crash with a heart condition, dial 911, and get put on Hold. frightening. she almost got the Paddles. all i could do was cry.

If you don’t hurry, his behind won’t just be pruney, it’ll be blue, too.

I hate it when the Tidy-Bowl irritates my buttocks

See, the problem is that Opus provided too MUCH information. He should have just said he was trapped in the bathroom by a crazed attacker, instead of specifying that he was in fact inside the toilet.

He should have also avoided details such as “underwear.”

And “penguin.”

Btw, Happy Pi Day to all!

Sgt. Virgil Lazenby is not very sympathetic to this Endangered Species of talking/telephoning penguin called Opus. I am not very surprised.

Is Opus doomed?
