I'm kinda ashamed of this in retrospect...

I had a friend in high school who would call me and pretend to be a telemarketer all the time. I'd play along and say goofy things. One day, he called and said:

BS: "Hello Christopher, this is Sergeant Bill Smith, U.S. Marine Corps. Have you given any thoughts to what you want to do after high school?"

Me: "Actually, I have."

BS: "May I inquire as to what?"

Me: "I've been contemplating suicide."

BS: "I wouldn't recommend that....and I don't think you are Marine material. Good day." [click]

So I called my friend back:

Me: "That was a good one Josh."

Josh: "What are you talking about?"

Me: "The Marine Recruiter bit."

Josh: "What are you talking about?"

Me: "Did you not just call me?"

Josh: "No."

Just then, I realized what I had done. I was embarrassed, and ashamed that I had treated a Marine with such disrespect.
