Texas Emergency Hurricane Hotline Outsourced to India
Sept. 28, 2005 - As Hurricane Rita roared toward them, more than 300 people
called the local emergency number broadcast all around Nacogdoches County in
east Texas. What they didn't know was that the operators on the other end of
the phone were 7,000 miles away in India....
"Hello. You have reached 9-1-1 Emergency Services. Your call is
very important to us. Please stay on the line and your call will be
answered by the first available representative. Your estimated wait
time tonight is approximately ONE hour THIRTY minutes. Due to heavy
call volumes during certain periods, your wait time may be shorter if
you avoid peak calling times, such as nights, weekends, holidays, or
during times of inclement weather. Thank you for calling 9-1-1
Emergency Services."

and two words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance... UNDER
GOD. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that
would be eliminated from schools too?"
