Here is how I pictured it going.

> operator: "911 what is your emergency?"

> "...........Hello, I need assistance??"

> operator "Sir, Sir. Do you need help?"

> "........... YES I am here, Who is this? ......."

> operator: "Sir, we began tracing your call and are on the way.... wait... Sir what is your current location"

> "uuuummmmmm.... well about 2000 km up..... Sorry dialed the wrong number..." hung up

> operator: ".....???"

isn't day dreaming fun? LOL

The ISS is close - only 400km above surface. The zero/low gravity doesn't come from distance, but speed. It's more like "where are you?" - "oh, travelling at 8km/s"

Please don't do this here. Comments like this degrade the reading experience on HN. This is why you are getting downvoted. The HN crowd generally prefers more substantive comments and discourages low effort humor.

This is in good fun. What is wrong? I mean the original post is not really a Scientific Journal article. It was posted for fun. So lets have fun once in a while.

Humor's fine but the bar is high. Low-quality humor grows like crabgrass or kudzu and soon takes over. People are vigilant about not letting that happen here, not because they don't like fun, but because they've seen it happen elsewhere on the internet.

Most people overestimate how funny their comments are. scott_s said it best: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289

It would be interesting to read the top voted HN jokes, presumably they should be good if the bar is high.
