Apologies if it's ever been you.
When we were kids, me and some chums used to pick a random number out of the phone book and call it. When answered we would begin a casual yet rather silly conversation pretending we had mis-dialled a friend. Our most popular character, pre-dating Bruno by 20 or so years, would be to adopt a thick, camp Austrian/German accent...

*ringing*

Voice of randomly chosen number: "Hello"

One of us: "Hello Franz, eet ees Gunther. Mary said vu vould like to meet up to admire my weighty poppenschniel" (Or some other appropriately cheeky sounding word)

"Er... I think you have the wrong num..."

"Oh Franz, don't be a silly. Ve both know where this ees heading. My vieselcleft is hungry for vue"

*click*

This became even more entertaining when we discovered booze.


Two decades later, in our mid thirties, me an one mate in particualr still do this, but instead of calling people, it's texting. We normally take an existing contact and swap two or three numbers around. More likely to be a real number that way.
What we've found best is to just send a text that is mildly surreal yet almost plausible.

Recent examples include:

'I missed the ferry! Will the porcupines escape without guidance on the boat?"

'It was like a corned beef fritter dropped on a barbers shop floor!!!'

'Your experiments go against the laws of man and God! Stop it. Now!'

'Penguin! Penguin! Penguin!'

'Lionel has tits now'


And so on. You get the idea.


Give it a go, it's great fun when you get a reply. Most are just 'U got wrng numbr. lol', but some are almost as funny to recieve. Our best one, in reply to the the above 'Penguins!..' was:

'Piss off, Terry.'

Off topic? Probably. If it helps, I've also dropped my phone down the shitter.

Ta.

'I missed the ferry! Will the porcupines escape without guidance on the boat?"

Fantastic! Definitely worth a click.

Accidentally on topic,
I just texted my friend with the porcupine one, as I know he's at a club event and probably just drunk enough to need a good hard think before he realizes it's a joke.

But as I watched the message go out, I glanced at the history just above and realized I'd just sent it to my boss/client, who is probably asleep (2300). Bugger.

You b*stard
I just had to work so hard to prevent myself from laughing out loud in the office that I actually farted. Loudly.

Next time, I think I'll just laugh.
