911 Caller: Would You Like Some Coffee With Your Giant Stab Wound?

by Rachel Sklar | 7:29 pm, December 23rd, 2009

911 Um, this is some of the weirdest audio I’ve ever heard: Dude calls the operator to — politely! — report that he’s just been stabbed.

Operator: 911
Man: Uh, yes ma’am – would it be possible to send an ambulance here?
Operator: What’s going on?
Man: Uh, there’s a knife stuck in my chest.

Just like that, cool as you please. Apparently a robbery gone wrong; he didn’t get a good look at the guy; and also SEND THE DAMN AMBULANCE ALREADY HE’S GOT A KNIFE STUCK IN HIS CHEST!

Apparently he got stabbed, walked to a diner, called 911, and then ordered coffee. This happened in Warren, Michigan, where I now have plans to visit never. Check it out below:

BTW am I a bad person for noticing that it said “Raw Audio” and giggling a bit? Get it? Steak knife? Raw audio? Eeewwww I’m going to hell. p.s. He’s recovering, says the AP. (Never would have joked like that otherwise.)

O'Brien's own Twitter account made waves went it first went up, and then again last week when he followed his first fan - Sara Killen - who then became a micro-celebrity herself. Now the man behind "I'm With Coco" image has stepped out from behind his Banksy-esque silence to talk about his new-found success as the official designer for Conan's tour posters.
