The Beatles are part of the zeitgeist of America. The Fab Fourâs music has been a landmark in the industry for over half a century, and some of those songs have become timeless in their own right. "Strawberry Fields" is one of those songs. What you may not know is that right in the middle of the song, something happens to the music. Once you hear it, it can never be unheard.

The Mesa-area boy believed his hunger was an urgent issue, so he requested the operator bring him a McDonalds Happy Meal. Ordinarily, this would be grounds for the agent to hang up, but Mesa Police had other ideas. The good folks at the Mesa Police Department actually fulfilled the boyâs request when an officer hand-carried the meal directly to the childâs home. The boyâs mother was embarrassed to see police show up at her door for such a strange reason, but the smiling officers thought it would be a good opportunity to teach the child about the right times to call 911. Awwww.
At least the Mesa Police Department didnât charge a delivery fee.
