A few favorites:

"Suspects are using large scissors to carve items at the corner."

"YARRRRR! Engine One you are clear to back!" (in pirate voice)

"Be advised, we have a fire in the cow pasture at that intersection."

"Caller advised her drunk redneck neighbor is out in the street hootn n' hollerin and trying to burn the tires of his truck."

Helicopter pilot: "I do apologize."
