In a strange and somewhat ironic twist of fate, the crazy woman who berated the public servants as they bravely vanquished the Great Pole Fire of 2009 was shortly thereafter spotted laid-out on the sidewalk in front of the Crypt, and was swiftly carried away, presumably to a hospital, by paramedics.

That’s not how you get picked up at The Crypt, silly lady. You ask if you can “try” stuff.
“ironic”?
Maybe she was just hoping for a little “CPR” from teh hunky policemenz?
Maybe she found the pole smokers she was looking for afterall
Maybe the berated public servants gave her a little something to help her “relax”.
You’re not supposed to be supine in front of a crypt, dummie. You’re supposed to be supine inside a crypt. Duh!
WTF? Really? I was the one who called 911 to have the paramedics come look at her. She was unconscious and not moving. Although, to be fair, I’m one of those people who doesn’t know what to do in that kind of situation, so I had to have my friend nudge and try to see if she was okay. He was more of the good guy in this instance. It goes to show that I can dial a phone, but nothing beyond that. Anyone else have that problem?
i assume that she has heath coverage.
