Dialing for Idiots: Man Calls 911 for Sex
Friday, November 13, 2009


Man desperate for sex calls 911 hoping for some kinky emergency dispatcher action.

AP
Tampa, Fla. - Well, one thing you can say about Joshua Basso, he's resourceful. When the 29-year-old was on the prowl for sex but ran out of minutes on his cell phone, he dialed the only free number he could think of: 911. The female operator on the other end was not amused, and hung up -- but Basso kept calling back. Finally, the operator managed to trick Basso into giving her his address by feigning interest in a hook-up. At one point, Basso asks the savvy operator if she has nice breasts and she replies, "You tell me where you are and maybe I can show you."

Here's an excerpt from the call (or a primer on how NOT to pick up girls).

Operator: "911, what's your emergency?"

Basso: "What's up?"

Basso: "You gonna come and see me?"

Operator: "Yeah! Give me your address."

Basso: "Yeah? What are you gonna do when you come here?"

Operator: "Huh?"

Basso: "Huh? Are you gonna pull down your pants?"

Basso: "You got a nice butt? Huh?"

Operator: "You tell me your name, maybe we can talk more. But you don't
tell me your name, I'm hanging up."

1. Not a Darwin award.

He didn't die from his own stupidity or at least render himself sterile. That's the criteria.

[walldude]

2. No Darwin for him.... in order to recieve a Darwin

you have to be killed doing something stupid, the whole point of the award is morons removing themselves from the gene pool.. hence the "Darwins". He can't even get an honorable mention.

5. Death isn't required, if I understand the Darwin Award correctly.

The guy who had a loaded shotgun in the front seat of his truck and managed to shoot his own balls off was awarded a Darwin, iirc, but somehow I doubt that he attended the Awards Ceremony for Living Darwin recipients.

I believe the criterion is just removing oneself from the breeding population.

9. Well according to the books they get an honorable mention

if they remove themselves from the gene pool without dying.

12. Good. Makes sense, actually.

I had my hands on one of the books only once, briefly.

Bought it as a gift for my son, who thought it was great.

10. dupe

6. Based on that phone call, I'd say the guy is out of the reproductive pool.

It doesn't matter how long he lives.

3. Not Darwin Award material-he lived

Is just Stupid Human Trick.

4. That's really not a Darwin Award FU

To get a Darwin perp has to either take himself completely out of the gene pool or do something so stupid and painful he'll never be able to pollute the pool again.

That's just another typical day in Tampa FL.

7. No Darwin."Honoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it."

11. Hasn't that moran ever heard of Rosie Palm and her five sisters?

[Kaleva]

13. How about a picnic table that has a hole in in for an umbrella?

There was a thread about that guy here on DU not too long ago. Seems his neighbors didn't take kindly to his making sweet love to his picnic table in the back yard.

[Berry Cool]

14. And I'm embarrassed to say, THAT guy was from O-high-o

Flori-duh doesn't have a monopoly on weird.

15. A Wisconsin man got busted for roadkill love.

His defense was that since the deer was dead, he didn't break any Wisconsin law.
