Is Curtis There
Ever since I moved to Las Vegas I have been getting numerous calls for Curtis. After awhile they started to go like this...
Me: Hello Caller: Yes can I speak to Curtis Me: Who may I say is calling Caller: Is this Curtis Me: Who am I speaking to Caller: Am I speaking to Curtis Me: Who am I speaking to Caller: This Jon R##### Me: Who do you represent Caller: This is Jon R#### Me: Who do you represent Caller: I'm with PRS Me: What is PRS Caller: Is Curtis there Me: Well what does PRS mean Caller: Am I speaking to Curtis Me: Not until you tell me what kind of business PRS is CLICk....only once has someone told me what PRS is.....Platium Recovery Service.... a collection agency. And I told him I've only lived here a short while and an old number must still be listed. They than say we'll remove your number from the list. One call continued like this: Caller: May I speak to Curtis Me: Well I'm sorry to say Curtis is dead.....he was in bed with a guys wife when he came home and the guy shot him eight times..It was awfull... I told Curtis not to fool around with her.... Caller: Oh........we'll put that down....Click A Week Later.............. Me: Hello Caller: We understand Curtis is deceased....would you know who to........ The other thing is once in awhile I get junk mail addressed to Curtis. And once I got a call from an ex-father inlaw looking for his GrandChildren....with him I was very polite.

Someday you will get a call:
"Hi. This is Curtis. Any messages for me?"

Too big to fail

I lived with a girl for a few years, and then we broke up and she moved out. For almost a year I was getting calls for her, mostly from fund-raising organizations, because she was the type to kick a few bucks to anyone with a good story.
The only thing that worked was to start telling callers that she was dead. I made up some good tales, like the A/C adapater for her vibrator that shorted out and electrocuted her - "But she went out with a smile on her face..." On a similar note, I think I removed myself from the Sacramento Bee's calling list, after the 3rd call in one week - even after explicitly telling them to put me on their DNC list, I said to the poor girl that got me the 3rd time: "Can you hang on a minute; I need to get my pants off and find the hand creme..." *click* Yes, I'm in the running for the BOFH...
