Thread Name: BS: Collect obscene phone call.
Subject: RE: BS: Collect obscene phone call.
Well, I did this, too....

We'd been getting calls from Olin Mills, a photography company, offering to take pictures of my non-existent children. Finally, I'd had enough.

"Hi! This is Olin Mills. We have a special offer on pictures of your children...."
(sounds of sobbing from me)
"Sir..? Sir?"
"I...I'm sorry. It's just that my wife and I want children very much, but I was wounded by a castrater mine in Vietnam."
(a pause)
"I'm so sorry sir. I didn't mean to...I'm sorry. Goodbye, and good luck."

They didn't call again for three years.
