Subject: Pesky Telemarketer
The phone rang as I was sitting down to my anticipated evening meal and, as I
answered, I was greeted with, "Is this Wilhiam Wagenhoss?"
This didn't sound anything like my name, so I asked, "Who is
calling?"The telemarketer said he was with the Rubberband-Powered
Freezer Company or something like that and then I asked him if he knew Wilhiam personally
and why was he was calling this number.
I then said, off to the side, "Get really good pictures of the body and
all the blood." I then turned back to the phone and advised the caller
that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had
already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to appear in the
local courthouse to testify in this murder case.
I questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number
at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and could
he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call.
The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a
shaky voice. Then I proceeded to tell him that we had located his
position at his work place and the police were entering the building to take
him into custody.
At that point, I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away.
My wife asked me (as I returned to the table) why I had tears streaming down
my face; and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen minutes.
My meal was cold, but oh-so-very enjoyable!!
