Default Wife Won\'t Cook Dinner, Husband Calls Police
I saw this and couldn't stop laughing..... I had to share:

Wife Won't Cook Dinner, Husband Calls Police

LONDON (Reuters) - An angry British husband made an emergency call to police -- because his wife refused to cook him his dinner.

The man dialed "999" in a fury, demanding help from officers because his wife was busy decorating, Avon and Somerset police in western England said on Thursday.

The plea was one of a number of genuine calls made by the public to police which the force published on its Web Site to highlight abuse of the emergency number.

"My wife's left me with two salmon sandwiches which was left over from last night, and I'm sat in the chair here and she's out there decorating," the man told the police operator.

"She won't put any food on or anything for anybody."

The operator is then heard interrupting him saying: "I'm sorry but I really can't take this. It's not an emergency because your wife won't give you anything to eat."

Two Salmon sandwiches?....sounds like dinner to me.
Could have been worse for that guy...it could have been a steak sandwich, what with Mad Cow in England and all.

Some of you guys might want to consider taking care of the "honey do" list if it's been ignored lately.

This could go both ways! :grin:

Innnnnconnnnceivable!!!!! That "999" operator should be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should have sent out the SWAT (SalmonWich Attack Team) and hauled her off too "Wife" school.
The nerve of that woman--and what about her husband? This could leave him scarred for life!!!
On the positive side, they do have free medical and psychiatric care in GB.
MEN,MEN,MEN,MEN,MEN,MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
SICKYSACKY,SICKYSACKY,HOY-HOY-HOY!!!!!!!!!!
