上了年纪的人会记得Ask Jeeves这个搜索引擎，更重要的是，输入一些无礼的问题来看这个长久以来受苦受难的“管家”会如何回答，那是非常有趣的一件事。
People of a certain age will remember the Ask Jeeves search engine and, more importantly, what fun it was to type in rude questions to see what the long-suffering butler might say.
Jeeves可能不复存在了，但是现在所有的iPhone或是iPad用户在和苹果语音助手Siri交流时，都会遇到类似的情况。
Jeeves may no longer be around, but now everyone with an iPhone or iPad has something similar with Apple's voice assistant, Siri.
从2010年起Siri就一直在帮助用户，就像之前的Jeeves一样，和她交流也同样有乐趣。
Siri has been on hand to help since 2010 and, like Jeeves before her, it's also possible to have a little fun with her.
例如如果你向Siri借钱，她会一本正经地回答你：“我既不是借款人也不是贷款人。”
For example, if you ask Siri to borrow some money, she'll sagely reply with, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
但是，与Siri开一些看似无害的玩笑，有时可能会导致很严重的后果--很可能是有害的。
Sometimes, however, the harmless Siri fun can stray into something more serious - and potentially harmful.
最近，一些iPhone用户在推特上要求其他用户对Siri说“108”，并且补充道：“稍后你会感谢我的。”
iPhone users have been taking to Twitter recently telling others to say the number 108 to Siri, adding things like, "You'll thank me later."
《太阳报》报道称，事实上，对Siri说“108”会使你连接到英国的紧急服务。这是因为“108”相当于印度的“999”。
Saying 108 will in fact put you through to the emergency services in the UK. This is because 108 is the equivalent of 999 in India, writes The Sun.
所以，Siri所做的是将它视为一个紧急呼叫，并使你连接到所在地区的紧急服务部门。
So what Siri does is recognise it as an emergency call, and puts you through to the services in your area.
而其他会造成相似的闹剧的号码还包括：112、110、000以及美国的911。
Other numbers includes in similar pranks are: 112,110, 000 and the US number 911.
这个恶作剧尤其不可取的原因是，它会分散我们的紧急服务资源。
What makes this prank particularly inadvisable are the thinly stretched resources of our emergency services.
