The desperate need for a cheeseburger can indeed eclipse all judgment. Police in New Castle, Ind., say Gregory Jackson Sr. called 911 nine times within 90 minutes to request a delicious patty nestled lovingly with cheese in a bun. After telling Jackson Sr. that "we don't take cheeseburger orders," the dispatcher sent an officer to his apartment, concerned that the caller hadn't eaten in a long time.
