When we moved here the phone company gave me the number of some deadbeat, and his creditors drove me batty until one day I was fed up. one of them called, said may I speak to Sean? I said "NO" he said, "Why not"? I said. :He went crazy and I shot him." No more calls.

Another time, some wise guy gave my number to a dating service. I got call after call with propositions which I declined. Finally, she said, "are you seeing someone" and I said, "Yes I am." then the pushy woman said, " Well, is it serious?" that was the last straw, I said, "It will be if her husband finds out." I swear this is a true story.
