The old joke claims these calls were made to the boss of a local Alko, but it might as well have been emergency number...

Midnight. Phone rings. The boss picks up.
Obviously intoxicated caller: "When does Alko open tomorrow?"
Boss: "At 9."
Obviously intoxicated caller: "Oh. OK." [Hangs up]

3am. The phone rings again.
Obviously intoxicated caller: "When does Alko open tomorrow?"
Boss: "I told you before, it opens at 9!"
Obviously intoxicated caller: "Oh. OK." [Hangs up]

5am. The phone rings once more.
Obviously intoxicated caller: "When does Alko..."
Boss: "For heaven's sake I have now twice told you it opens at 9! You are not getting inside any earlier, so stop calling me!"
Obviously intoxicated caller: "Inside? Who said anything about getting inside? I'm waiting for you to come and let me out of here!"
