Review: Not a laugh a minute

I saw the title and expected a laugh out loud type of book, if that is what you want don't buy this one.  The author stated very clearly in the beginning of the book this was not a book just about 911 calls but about the system and how it came about with a few calls thrown in.  That almost stopped me right there, but being me I kept going.  I learned more about the system then I had ever known before and didn't realize that 911, or some form of it, has been in existence for much longer than the 35 years I have known about.The calls he puts in the book are not as funny as some of the calls I know come in, a few it seems are handled-or written-with malice such as the woman on medicaid with the bad back, and others have been played over and over so many times that it is no longer funny.
