2 Skinnee J's - always eclectic, mostly intelligent
I may have received my funniest prank call ever last night. Tell you more? I'd be glad to! My personal cell rang last night about 7pm - as the caller ID said 'restricted', I figured it was some telemarketer so I picked up (my curiosity will be the death of me one day).
Me: This is Tom. (It's a habit from work, I answer phone calls I don't know with my name)
Caller: Hi, this is Jessica with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. We'd like to ask you some questions.
Me: (thinking this will be asking for a donation) Sure, fire away.
Jessica: Well, we've had several complaints about you hanging out at elementary school playgrounds and taking pictures
Me: (Laughing hysterically) I don't know who you are, but bravo - this is hilarious!
Jessica: (totally serious) Sir this isn't hysterical, this is creepy. We'd like to send some officers over to talk with you.
Me: (still laughing) Sure, send 'em on over!
Jessica: Do you have any weapons?
Me: (wait a minute, that sounds like a valid question) Nope
Jessica: And will you be home tonight?
Me: Yep, all night.
Jessica: Ok sir, someone will be by shortly.
[phone call ends]
Now, I laughed my ass off - but a little tiny part of me worried that I had made light of an actual phone call, and that the police would be at my door directly. I am happy to say that no one showed up last night to arrest me or accuse me of being creepy. The worst part is that I have no clue who did that great prank call or why - I didn't recognize the voice, the number was restricted, and none of my friends who usually do this type of thing were in on it. I called the usual suspects to congratulate them on their genius, but they honestly had no idea what I was talking about (either that or they have become the best actors ever). So, I guess it's one of those things that will come out a few years from now, and we will all have a good laugh.
Gone to take some pictures,
