Dead Guy

The authorities: Hello San Francisco 311, how can I help you?

Me: Hi, there's a dead guy in a bag on the corner of Sansome and Broadway.

The authorities: He's dead? Are you sure he's dead?

Me: Yeah, he looks dead.

The authorities: Would you like me to call the police?

Me: If they're the ones that handle it. I just thought you should know theres a dead guy.

The authorities: Are you sure he wasn't a homeless person sleeping?

Me: He probably was homeless...

The authorities: So you're not sure he's dead.

Me: I think he's a dead homeless guy.

The authorities: Did you check to see if he's dead?

Me: He was stiff and his head was wrapped tight in the bag, people don't sleep like that.

The authorities: Are you near him now?

Me: No.

The authorities: Where is he?
