Psychiatric Hospital Pizza

Ivan, I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'm too lazy to go look.

Claim: FBI agents holed up in a psychiatric hospital attempt to order pizza delivery.
Status: True.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1995]


FBI agents conducted a "search and seizure" at the Southwood Psychiatric Hospital in San Diego, which was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of poring over many rooms of financial records, some sixty FBI agents worked up quite an appetite. The case agent in charge of the investigation called a local pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues.
The following telephone conversation took place:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent: Hello. I would like to order nineteen large pizzas and sixty-seven cans of soda.

Pizza man: And where would you like them delivered?

Agent: To the Southwood Psychiatric Hospital.

Pizza man: To the psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.

Pizza man: You're an FBI agent?

Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.

Pizza man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front doors. We have them locked. You'll have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.

Pizza man: And you say you're all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?

Pizza man: And you're over at Southwood?

Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?

Pizza man: And everyone at Southwood is an FBI agent?

Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.

Pizza man: How are you going to pay for this?

Agent: I have my check book right here.

Pizza man: And you are all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right, everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have the front doors locked.

Pizza man: I don't think so.

It's interesting that even the "Repost Police" is a non-paying position, plenty of people are willing to pin the badge on and start wading through posts. ;)

Even though Snopes supposedly called it true, sounds like BS to me.

Who the hell oders exactly 67 cans of soda? Wouldn't you round it up and order a specific drink (i.e. Pepsi)? Can you even get cans of soda or would you get those litter bottles?

How do we have an exact transcript of the conversation? Does Pizza Hut record all it's phone in orders?

I have too much time on my hands to think about this shit...

I actually had to deliver a pizza or two to nurses stations at a looney bin in my younger days. Once, I had to go up to the nurses station on the 3rd floor, and someone (i'm guessing a patient) was just saying help over and over again. A bit un-nerving for my 20 year old mind.

Dude...The way I thought about it once the pizza guy hung up on the FBI guy the FBI guy started busting out laughing and then told his FBI agent friends, and then someone posted it. I dont think pizza hut is involved in the propagation of this transcript.
