Today I had to sign some papers at work due to a hostage situation that happened while I was on the phone.

Lady calls in because her husband hung himself. Well, the fuckwad didn't know how to tie a noose very well because he ended up on the ground as opposed to being suspended above the ground. So now my hanging call turns into a "My husband has a knife and is going to cut his wrist!" call. It then turned into "Well if you kill yourself I'm killing myself too!" It then escalated into "Our three kids are here and they're never going to leave!"

Well, well. What was a simple hanging call has now turned into a nice hostage case. After a good 15 minutes of talking to the guy and his stupid ass wife and telling her to get the fuck out of there and telling him to let her go she finally decides that she doesn't want to kill herself and she takes the three kids and leaves into the hands of the policemen outside who hopefully arrested her ass for child endangerment (she's the fuckwad who said that her kids weren't ever leaving that house.) He ends up giving himself up to police and he only has to treated for a little mark on his neck.

Chandler (where this occurred) PD then calls back to tell our Chief that I helped diffuse a situation that could have ended up much worse. Seriously, I didn't do anything that anybody else up there wouldn't have done. Anybody who would have been put into that position would have done what I did, they probably would have just done it better.

Anyways, I finally get to go see "Walk the Line" tonight. But first, some drinking. Take care all.

And if you're going to try and hang yourself, don't do it in the Phoenix-Metro area. We don't need another hostage situation.
