Pranks calls

[Natalia Evans]

I was given a prank called from a kid. The phone rings and I answer it and a little kid asks "Is your refrigerator running?" I hang up. I sit back down and then the phone rings and I knew it was the kid calling back and I knew what I was going to say so I answer it again and say in a sweeter voice. "Hello?"
"Is your refrigerator running?"
I say sweetly "Prank calls care illegal. Good night." I hang up again and unplug the phone to show him he messed with the wrong person.

Now I am thinking what better things could I have said.
"Is your refrigerator running? You better go catch it."
"Is your toilet running? You better go catch it."


I tell my boyfriend about it and he told me a good comeback I could say to the kid. "I have your number and going to give it to the police."

The prank call didn't bother me. Just a immature kid. Why be mad if I can unplug the phone?

Here are a couple more possible prank questions:

Question:  Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Answer:  Yes.

Response:  Then you better let him out before he suffocates.


Question:  Do you have Martha White in a bag?

Answer:  Yes.

Response:  Let her out of there!

Even Queen Elizabeth fell for a prank caller without knowing it was a hoax:

In 1995, Canadian DJ Pierre Brassard got through to Buckingham Palace pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

He chatted to the Queen for 15 minutes on air - eliciting a promise that she would try to influence Quebec's referendum on proposals to break away from Canada - and she never realised it was a hoax.

Buckingham Palace later described the incident as "irritating and regrettable".

Calls like that are one reason out of many that I detest "Morning guy" radio DJ teams. Whether the douche bags call themselves Lamont and Tennille or Opie and Anthony or something else, by the the time they get national syndication they are in the 40s acting like 3rd graders.

Just tell them that you were about to call them and that you are the hospital and that their parent(s) have been in a horrible car accident and that they are now dead.

When I was in jr high I had a friend who lived near a radio station on a back road in an out of the way area he used to call people at random out of the phone book and tell they they won something but they had to pick it up in the next half hour.   Then we'd watch them come banging on the door

When they ask about the refrigerator say that its working fine.

I can't come with anything else yet, but I am on to something funny, I can feel it   not just that

Here is a good response to the question. "It just ran out the door."

Do you get how it doesn't sound funny anymore, besides the fact that its old.   New stimulation keeps the mind in shape, that is why we don't like old jokes.

Good pranks use soundboards. For a sample of what i'm talking about, just google "soundboard".

Also prank calls are actually not illegal. If you stop after the first call, they can't get you for anything. If you call again though and they have your phone number, they can call the cops for harrassment.

I was told they were illegal because I did them for a short bit as a kid. My parents told me I can get in trouble with the police if they traced the call to me but only if those people report it to them. I stopped because I didn't want to go to jail or I should say juvi hall. Get in trouble with the police, you have done something illegal. If you were innocent, then you be clueless what you've done wrong. I got in trouble with the police once when I was 17 because some dickhead thought I took something from his store without paying for it. I didn't understand why I was being arrested even though I was told "for stealing a videotape" and I didn't know what they were talking about. I had a mild meltdown in the back of the police car but I was still able to speak.

My dad said to me "Now you know what it's like getting arrested." Then he asked me if they handcuffed me and I said "yes" and he said that was funny they handcuffed his daughter. That sure got me attention in school on Monday. When things happen in a small town, someone is most likely to see it and they spread the word and everyone knows about it. It was so tragic, I hid in my home the whole weekend with Benny & Joon. I didn't literally hide, I stayed home and didn't want to go anywhere with my family, I didn't even want to see the homecoming parade or any other homecoming stuff. I didn't even want to go to school but my mother told me just tell everyone at school what really happened, I'm honest so they'll believe me and she was right. That helped me get over it quicker in school. I thought I was going to have to switch schools and have to go to another town to attend school and I didn't want that change.

Oh gawd, the guys at my work discovered those things and now all I hear drifting between cubicles is Ahhnold going "let me talk to your mother" and "who are you?" and "who is your daddy?" They have entire conversations. It is sad and hilarious.

Lol, that's HORRIBLE.

I discovered those a couple of years ago and the novelty wore off really quick.

I discovered them a loooongass time ago and to this day, I still find it side splittingly hilarious.

I thought about getting in there with a Judge Judy board, but I'm not quick enough on the uptake IRL.

Today it was philosophy though. I love being in a place where the two guys "next door" randomly get into a heated, hour-long, fast-and-furious debate about whether philosophy is a subset of mathematics. A torrent of logic theory until I finally jump in and point out to them that the whole issue is an irrelevant red herring, because while all philosophy may use language, and language may be rooted in mathematics, it really doesn't matter whether philosophy is rooted in mathematics because pure logic isn't the tool most philosophers use to continue their exploration of the universe. And of course they ignore me entirely, because it wasn't about rationality vs. mysticism, it was about a bigger dick fight between two guys that happily acknowledge that their points are irrelevant and happily continue sparring.
