Prank calls

Ooh, nice one, Evil! The idea that people spent the entire next day dreading the arrival of a man in a gorilla suit is positively hilarious.

yeah, haha, turned out to be one of my friends calling while drunk. Damn him!

I play along with most prank callers. The amusement to them is far greater than the minor annoyance of recieving a prank call. However I don't play along with the silent ones, or the ones that curse and hang up. not much to do.

What about the ones that say 'you will die in a weeks time'

you reply: kiss my arse

In the paper this morning some arse DJs in Miami were credited with getting Pres. Chavez of Venezuela on the line for a bit while pretending to be Fidel Castro! Now that is pretty funny.


The worst one that I know, was one of my wife's co-workers who got a call from a stranded motorist on a highway looking for a tow truck. They kept the guy on the phone for a half an hour and kept 'sending' trucks to get his car. That is just mean.

Oh, for the "you will die" people, (I do this with telemarketers sometimes as well) I do the "hold on a minute" thing. (You know, where you go off and do something else and then hang up 2 minutes later. Prank callers don't have much attention span.)
