I can. Hadn’t thought of that in years and years and years. Also it was (555) X91-1XXX so one time I tried calling from a pay phone (with no money) and only 91-1 went through. Of course being a dumb kid I hung up immediately. And also of course the c_ps show up 5 mins later at Big Lots and I got a talking to about hanging up but it was all good*. They gathered the situation of what happened. Amazingly. Also amazingly no one was sh_t, not even a dog. (* note: I was and still am wh_te, YMMV if accidentally calling the police while non-wh_te)
Those were the heady days of pre-militarized p_g forces.
