A blocked number.....

around when I was in Jr. high and the rotor rooter commercials came on the radio all the time we would call usually people we knew and tell em we were from the rotor rooter company and recording for a new commercial and try to get em to sing the jingle.  We actually got a good number of people to play along.

We got the employees of a Whataburger in Texas to sing happy birthday for us.

prank callers are soo lazy nowadays. me and some friends used to come up with humorous ploys that would actually draw the person into playing along. when I get prank called I always try to "one up" the pranker by getting under their skin. Now people call and say nothing until you hang up...lame

couple years ago, me and a friend were up early monday morning prank-calling ppl (was like 2 a.m in the morning i believe). we had were doing a "cookie testing" prank. we got ALOT of angry replies.(one guy asked for our address so he could come "hang" out with us, another told us he was gonna shove his cane down our throats) the funniest reply of that night tho was from a little old later, who said "im gonna get my grandson to kick your ***!"

Back when my parents first got married (late 1980's), my mom would get calls everyday from telemarketers and phone salesmen driving her crazy. So one day, dad got the bright idea to call mom from work playing like he was a lightbulb salesman. He disguised his voice, of course, and listed off many qualities of the bulb such as its power consumption, durability and brightness. Mom, trying to be polite, would kindly decline the offer but dad would fire back with a new perk. When mom said no for the final time, dad snapped "S--- lady, its just a d--- lightbulb!" She realized it was dad then and oh was she mad...

...and she got even.

She got one of her parent's friends to call dad playing like he was a mineralogist who had tested our land positive for oil. Dad got all pumped up and he was running around the office telling everyone including his dad (who was in on the gag) that he had struck it big time.

He hasn't prank called her since
