What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

Sure no problem officer.

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Can you share a picture of your favorite outfit and explain why you love it?

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

What is a partner in crime?

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

What do you think about Matt Gatz as an attorney general?

HELLO

Yes sir it is.

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

Why do gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

After a few moments he returns.
