I want some....
found this at MSNBC
LONDON - British police sprang into operation after receiving an emergency phone alert from a woman in apparently in some distress -- only to discover it had accidentally been made by a couple having sex.
Officers at Durham in northern England became alarmed when the 999 call -- the British equivalent of 911 in the United States -- came through to their headquarters in the middle of the night and all they could hear was what sounded like a woman crying with a man's voice in the background.
Police traced the number and rushed to the scene, where they found the embarrassed and disheveled couple who explained they were "messing around."
"It happened while they were having sex. The woman had depressed with her foot the '9' button on the phone which happened to be on the floor," a Durham police spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday.
"It certainly put a smile on the faces on the police side," the spokesman said. " We were just very relieved it wasn't a violent situation and that the couple was clearly getting on very well together."
