Additionally, it's not normal to have an electrical pole with underground wiring right next to it. It might happen in some places, but I doubt it.
Not sure how you mean that, but I know of several businesses with a large transformer outside their building, and three-phase primary voltage buried cable running 200+ feet from it to the utility pole. If you mean buried distribution, that's different.
No. Let's use the VT incident. Yes, if the gunman is in the room with you, calling 911 is probably not a good thing to do. Of course, pulling the phone out to start texting is probably not either. If I were a deranged gunman, I would see anyone with an electronic device in their hand as someone doing a Bad Thing. So, I feel that this is not a good example of a need for texting. Also, a gun fired in a classroom building is going to leave little doubt as to what just happened. Gunpowder is not Hush-A-Boom. Even a.22 is damn loud indoors. If I heard gunshots in another room, I would call 911, not text.
Also, if I were hiding in a closet, I would be whispering into the phone, not talking as if the P.A. system in the auditorium had just gone out. So, again, I don't feel that is a good argument for 911 testing.
I will concede that I did not think about an injury that prevented speaking. I don't think Mr. Anderson would have benefited from texting, but someone in the real world just might.
In short, I would not argue against supporting it, for the rare times that it is the best/only way to send for help, but I believe those cases are quite rare, and the need for information exchange between the caller and 911 center is better served by a voice call.
Oh, come on. It's an emergency. Make a fuckin' phone call.
"H3LP TEY HZ GUNZ" is not going to cut it.
This is a time for clear and quick communication, not being fashionable.
If this passes, does it mean I have to have the "new" patdown, or can I opt for the "classic", before I can enter the server room? And, if I can only bring in four ounces of soda, my productivity is gonna go to hell.
That way, when the Li-ion battery inside his head catches fire, he won't have to try to rip open his skull before flames shoot out his eyes like General Grievous.
I sure would like a front row seat to watch it all happen, though. Really, what you suggest is a good way to have everyone mad at you, right before you get fired.
Who is commanding this chicken-shit outfit? Simons? How could they not know something was wrong when they find the wrong flag on the flagpole? "Hey! Those bastards snuck over and put up their flag on our land! This land here...that we never had before..." This sounds like a land grab, and if someone notices, blame Google for a "map error."

I'm making up a list,
Of those that won't be missed...

He found a locket with his metal detector?
Wow. Mrs. Metal Detector is gonna be some pissed!
Judging from what eventually comes back on almost any google search, I suspect the internet is used to get ready for a genital pat down.

I don't understand. Could you Spain that to me?
I remember seeing "Long Long Wang" in the Denton phone book. Yeah, there are some hidden treasures there.

After watching "Linda Lovelace Meets Rin-Tin-Tin" in the '70s, I have been unable to play Tetris!

No wonder he was always throwing barrels.
It's a jet con-trail.
Doesn't she own a restaurant?
You mean they aren't just bota bags with an attitude problem?
I am glad he did. It saves the rest of us a lot of effort and embarrassment. Not to mention cat scratches.
If your last name is "Holmes", pick "Sherlock" instead of "John."

That little place there, "Ottisburg"? That's mine.
It's Capital One. They are probably just fucking with people.
No way, no way, will l lick anyone's cell phone just to make a call.
Damn. That's what I get for using memory instead of google.
If they manage to grow these livers in a vat on a commercial scale...
Oh, look. The Ixians are here with a ghola liver!
Man, oh, man, are you going to be disappointed.
