   P.S. one of my cats looks like she's having an orgasm rolling around in   
   freshly cut concrete dust.  That's gonna take her a while to clean out of her

   An Emergency Call Centre worker has been fired in Toronto much to the dismay   
   of her colleagues, who were unhappy with her dismissal.   
   It seems that a caller dialled 911 from a cell phone stating, "I'm depressed   
   and lying on a railway line so that when the train comes I can finally meet   
   Allah."   
   To which the call centre employee replied, "Remain calm and stay on the line."
