D'oh Nuts

Everyone's Going Round And Round In Circles

Are you reporting an emergency, or d'you want to order a doughnut? A firefighter in Easton, Pennsylvania, clicked on a link on the city's website and was horrified when he got a recording of a bogus dispatcher saying 911 was closed. ``Our offices are closed because everyone is at the doughnut shop,'' said the audio file. Stu Gallaher, city business administrator, said the file was quickly removed when city officials learned about it. Gallaher said it was accidentally left on the site by former Fire Chief Frank Chisesi, who had been hired to improve the city's Internet offerings. Chisesi said he had placed several audio files on the site but they did not work and he thought he had deleted them.
