Reminds me of a colleague who tried to call home from her hotel room
in Mountain View, California. As usual, she dialled 009111.... and
had the cops in her hotel room within 10 minutes. She *did* tell the
reception about the mistake she'd made, but the cops were adamant and
insisted on meeting her in her room in person before they were
satisfied that there was no hanky-panky going on.
She carried a red face around for many days after that :-)
BTW, 911 is the emergency phone number in the US.
