Me: Calls 9-1-1.
Operator: 9/11, what’s your emergency?
Me: *hangs up*

The humor comes from the absurdity of the situation. The caller dials 911, and the operator answers with '9/11,' creating a very awkward moment of realization for the caller that they dialed the emergency number and not the date of the tragedy. The punchline is that the caller hangs up without saying anything. It's unexpected and it highlights the uncomfortable and dark nature of the situation.
