WINNER!!!

Received a phone call that... it... it HAD to be a joke.

First of all, of course, it came up as "UNKNOWN CALLER". I picked up the call without saying anything, which is my standard practice when receivng such a call.

All I could hear was breathing, and police sirens in the background. Hoo boy. I went ahead and said "Hello?"

All dialog from the caller should be read in broken English. Choose your own favorite ethnic accent to make it more fun!

"Mister Brian Pierce?"

Who is calling please.

"Mister Brian Pierce, do you remember... what is that clicking sound?"

I don't hear any clicking sound on my end.

"Mister Brian Pierce, is your address one-oh-one-one..." he went on to give me an address that I lived at back in 1997.

I'm sorry, I don't give out that information over the phone... who is this?

"Mister Brian Pierce, do you remember registering for the National Lotterywellcongratu - you do not hear that clicking noise?"

Nope... no clicking noise on my side.

"Well Mister Brian Pierce, the reason for my call is that you have won a MAJOR AWARD in The National Lottery and - sir, please stop making that clicking sound!"

I swear, I am not making a clicking sound on my end.

"Fine - MisterBrianPierce, DoYouRememberRegisteringForTheNationalLotteryWellGoodNews *gaaaaaasp* YOUHaveWonSixty-ThousandYou-EssAmericanDollarsWhereWouldYouLikeMeToSendYourMoneyI'llNeedYourBankAccountNumber"

No thank you *click*

Nothing you do to a telemarketer or phone scammer can actually be considered evil. They do have their own level of hell after all.

Well done sir. Well done. Hopefully the evildoer will have learned their lesson and repent their wicked ways. And if not, may their next call end worse...for them.

If nothing else, that telemarketer probably entered your phone number into his call centers' do not call list.
