broooooooooooooooo ck bock bock bock bock
i clucked excitedly, answering the phone one day when i was about 13 to a lovely - if chavvy - lady from kfc. she said that they were having a contest to see how many times you could cluck in a minute, and the winner got #500 and free kfc for a month.

forgetting that i was veggie and hated chicken, i threw myself into it with a vengeance, clucking for england. cluck! cluck!! cluuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!! i squawked loudly.

after about 15 seconds and 150 clucks, i was happily confident about my clucking abilities. but by 30 seconds and 300 clucks, i suddenly got suspicious. how were they counting these......

as i faltered, there was a gap in my clucking. through the silence, i heard the sound of stifled laughter, which rapidly got louder and louder.

yeah, so the nice lady was a so-called friend from my class, and she had what felt like half the year there listening to me squawking like a muppet.

this is still arguably the most embarrassing moment of my life! didn't live that one down until - well until something even worse, but i don't think i'll be sharing that!

I put it to you that this is possibly a fabrication.

Hahaahah,

Leave It Out
ye doubters.

I've never heard this tale before (but obviously some of you have) and so you doubt that it happened.

Well let me tell you a little about the way the world works - and how this tale is probably true.

You see, I love this tale. I love it so much that one day I'm going to ring someone up and tell them I'm from KFC and see if I can get them to cluck.

That's what probably happened here - someone told the story to Ms Swipes mate and she thought she'd give it a go. And R Swipe fell for it.

I find this eminently feasible and so this gets a click.

Lots of the gags I've pulled started out with something I'd heard and I'd think:

"Fuck yeah - gotta try that"

Cheers

we used to do prank calls when I was a kid, including phoning random numbers and doing "operatic voices" at them, so this gets a kentucky fried click!

i wish
this were a fabrication. it seems funny now, but at 13 it was actually really embarrassing! then again, i wouldn't fall for it now. at least, i hope not.

oh, and esmeweatherwax, i don't know how sad my life is. but as you're the one with nothing better to do than write rude messages to total strangers ONLINE at 1am on a thursday night, why don't you tell everyone? i'm sure you're a much better judge of sad lives than i am.

Ahh phone pranks!
I remember how funny they used to be as a kid - and yet what massive cnuts we probably seemed to the poor people answering the phone to the number we dialed at random.
*clicky* miss Swipe - but now I want to hear about the tale you don't want to share! *sulks*
