[red-beard]

Collection agency called yesterday for my #1 ex-wife. They wanted me to get a message to her, that it's not too late to settle...

I haven't seen the sleezy, lying, b**** that couldn't keep her panties on since 1991. They told my _now_ wife that she was dead. So, I called the phone number and at least got the name of the firm, after they did tell me she wasn't dead.

Me: I haven't seen her since 1991 and no contact since the fall of 1992. I don't know where she is.

Them: If you talk to her, or her family. This is really important. I mean, I'm calling on a Sunday. I wouldn't do that if it wasn't important.

Me: So, what is this about?

Them: I can't tell you. It would be illegal for me to tell you.

Me: Is this something criminal or civil in nature.

Them: Oh, no, no, it's not criminal.

Me: So, you want me to call someone, who I haven't had any contact with in 16 years, who I don't know where she lives, who I couldn't really care if she were dead or alive.

Them: Yes. It's really important. She needs to contact me before the end of the month.

blah-blah-blah

In all seriousness, I couldn't carel ess. About the only reason to do anything is for revenge, but I don't even have enough feelings left for that. The only reason I even called back was that they said to my wife that she was dead. And under those circustamnces, if I could find her mother, I'd at least call and report that her daughter was dead.

What freakin' sleazes are in the collection business! I can't believe they told my wife that ex#1 was dead.

And how did they get my phone number and connect me to her?

You know, I've probably wasted more bandwidth here than this stupid thing is worth...
