| Oct 15, 2015 at 7:32 | comment | added | David Richerby | If you're going to answer the phone with "911, what is your emergency?", that has to be the very first thing you say, immediately when you pick up the phone. In particular, you have to say that before you know whether you're dealing with a junk call or not. | |
