I've heard a variant of that one; my sister's friend's friend worked at a
911 dispatch unit in Houston. In this one, the deer bit the guy in the
back of the neck (from the back seat of the car), the dog was after the
guy as he was making the call, and the guy couldn't tell them where he
was beyond "I'm in a g** d***ed f***ing phone booth!"
