What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Yes sir it is.

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Why am I sweating so much when I try to do anything?

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

HELLO

What causes you to be tired all the time and major headaches?

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

Sure no problem officer.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Is Jesus God almighty?

After a few moments he returns.

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

{RING} {RING}

How can you tell if someone is cunning?

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
