That reminds me... When I was a kid - a gazillion years ago, my father who had been a police officer in our town was listening to the scanner, it was a call for a car accident. When the dispatcher asked for the name of the driver, the officer on the scene said they'd phone it in. 'Some bigshot's kid' my father thought. A few minutes later I called and said 'Dad, I had an accident' (he was always a bigshot in my eyes!)
