1. A couple years back, my husband and I were sitting in the ER

waiting for our son to be seen (asthma can be SO exciting!) An ambulance pulled up and the paramedics walked in and started gossiping with the medical staff. Suddenly there was a great hullabaloo. That hospital is also the local emergency psychiatric center. The cops had brought someone in for observation earlier, but no one was observing. The fellow had walked out, seen the ambulance running and took off for a drive!
