"Of Course It's an Emergency!"

A call goes out to the national emergency number from Calatayud, in Zaragoza. A man wants help rescuing his two girls from his locked car. Apparently, someone had stuffed toothpicks into the locks and he couldn't open it. He must have one of the last cars without a remote button. And the situation he describes could easily turn dangerous in the warm sun.

Firefighters and police quickly arrive at the scene. But there's no car. It seems that it's the apartment lock that has toothpicks stuffed in it and the man is anxious to enter because his daughters are alone. He explains to the increasingly mystified responders that his landlord tries to make life impossible so that he will move out with his daughters. This is not as critical as the previous scenario, but firefighters get into the apartment through a window looking out onto an interior patio and open the apartment.

The man is ecstatic when he sees his daughters are well. His "daughters" are two cats. The police and firefighters are not so happy. In fact, they tell the man that he is now subject to a fine of between 150,001 and 600,000 Euros for wasting their time and putting in danger anyone who had needed police and firefighters while they were opening his apartment door. The man shrugs it off and tells them to bill his landlord. To him his cats are his daughters and he loves them much more than many people love their family members.

I would love to see his face when he gets the fine. And when he's told he can't fob it off on the landlord. I think his "daughters" are going to have a lean time of it when he can't buy them the expensive cat food.
