Dial 911 for Math Homework Problems

Blank
I hate math. And apparently this little 4 yr. old boy does too, because he called 911 to get help with his math homework. His mom flips her shit at the end of the recording when she finds out what he's doing, so wait for it!

Quote

Operator: 911 emergencies.
Boy: Yeah I need some help.
Operator: What’s the matter?
Boy: With my math.
Operator: With your mouth?
Boy: No with my math. I have to do it. Will you help me?
Operator: Sure. Where do you live?
Boy: No with my math.
Operator: Yeah I know. Where do you live though?
Boy: No, I want you to talk to me on the phone.
Operator: No I can’t do that. I can send someone else to help you.
Boy: Okay.
Operator: What kind of math do you have that you need help with?
Boy: I have take aways.
Operator: Oh you have to do the take aways.
Boy: Yeah.
Operator: Alright, what’s the problem?
Boy: Um, you have to help me with my math.
Operator: Okay. Tell me what the math is.
Boy: Okay. 16 take away 8 is what?
Operator: You tell me. How much do you think it is?
Boy: I don’t know, 1.
Operator: No. How old are you?
Boy: I’m only 4.
Operator: 4!
Boy: Yeah.
Operator: What’s another problem, that was a tough one.
Boy: Um, oh here’s one. 5 take away 5.
Operator: 5 take away 5 and how much do you think that is?
Boy: 5.
Woman: Johnny what do you think you’re doing?!
Boy: The policeman is helping me with my math.
Woman: What did I tell you about going on the phone?
Operator: It’s the mother…
Boy: You said if I need help to call somebody.
Woman: I didn’t mean the police.

This Is Vandalism??



An NC State student, Joseph Carnevale, stole a few traffic barrels from a construction site and created a massive sculpture of a roadside monster hitching a ride. He accurately described his work as 'street art'.

Turns out the police didn't, of course, because they arrested him and charged him with vandalism.

The funny/best part about this is that the company who makes the barrels won't press charges against him, and instead want to hire him to recreated the monster outside their office headquarters.
"We've had a fair amount of vandalism, but have never had anyone turn it into art," Company President Steven Hussey said. "I actually thought it was pretty neat....it's been positive publicity for us, if we'd known he'd do that good of a work, we'd have given him the barrels."
Street Art - 1, Police - O!
