True Detective Stories

By Wyatt Earp | November 28, 2008

Apparently, the start of the holiday season brings out the dumb in everyone.

This is an actual phone conversation I had this morning at work. It is printed in its entirety.

(Phone Rings) Me: “Northwest Detective Division, Detective Earp speaking, may I help you?”
Caller: “Yeah, what part of the city are you in?”

(At this point I quickly reach for the duct tape.)

Me: “Um, the northwest part, ma’am. We’re Northwest Detective Division.”
Caller: “The northwest part of Philadelphia?

(At this point, I wrap head in the aforementioned duct tape.)

Me: “Yes, ma’am. We’re in Philadelphia.”
Caller: “Oh. Okay.” (Hangs up.)

After conversations like these, I am beginning to think that FX should change the name of their hit sitcom to, “It’s Always Stupid in Philadelphia.”
