Phony Phone Call

Anyone who knows me knows I have a small problem with my cell phone. I always forget to turn it on, and I always forget to check the messages. Well, last night, I went to call my sister, and I discovered I had 3 new messages. One from my sister. One from my friend Fatimah. And one very amusing message from a stranger.

It was a child's voice. The child said, "hi! We're calling from Who Wants... Who Doesn't Want... That Millionaire Show. If you want to be a millionaire, press 1. If you don't, press 3. If you are interested in this, please call 703-###-####" (actual number not published to protect the not so innocent child)

I don't know what would have happened if I had pressed 2.

That is totally random! How did you resist the urge to call the number back? Things like that always make me curious

I figured if I called back, I wouldn't get the kid, but a parent. And then I'd have to try to explain that yes, please, i want to be a millionaire. plus I was laughing too hard.

also, who would press 3? if you didn't want to be a millionaire, wouldn't you just hang up?

Good point, I don't think there is anyone dying to press 3...that was not even a very formidable prank call *laugh*

That's funny! Just recently I got a wrong number message on my cell phone from this guy who thought he was leaving a message for his girlfriend. Evidently they just broke up and he was drunk and crying like a baby the entire message for her to take him back. I never laughed so hard in my life!

that's funny, Mark. I don't know what your voicemail says, but mine says my name, in my voice. I always wonder why people leave messages for someone else when it says Genevieve!

Yes my voicemail says my name which is something I thought about too. In addition to crying about his girlfriend he also said "I don't know where the hell I am please come and get me" which just made it all the more funny to me.

Mark, that made me laugh. I mean really, how is she supposed to go get him if he doesn't know where he is?
