The FBI and Pizza
The following is a direct quote from the Center for Strategic
and International Studies report on Global Organized Crime; the
author who introduces the story swears it's true. FBI agents
conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was
under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of
reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had
worked up quite an appetite. The agent in charge of the
investigation called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service
to order a quick dinner for his colleagues. The following
telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI
because they were taping all conversations at the hospital.
Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67
cans of soda.
Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?
Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.
Pizza Man: 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 will 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 everyone at the psychiatric hospital 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 all of this?
Agent: I have my checkbook right here.
Pizza Man: And you're 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.
