Polar Bears and Gene Thievery - now with added AUDIO!
that's 4 digit number is probably the house address.
It could have been the last four of the number as well. I know that a lot of smaller towns that all have the same first 3 numbers will just trade the last four. My Grandmother in Dudley, MA used to do that to me all the time. I'd want to call my Aunt and asked for the number and was given "####" as a response.

This is the thing though, she KNEW it was 7 numbers. She actually said so. Yet persisted in giving me 4. Even when I asked repeatedly for all of them. ><
That audio clip is actually only HALF of the call. I cut off the first half (since it had her details in it. I also had to edit out a few bits in what you did hear for the same reason. ) and because originally she did give me a variety of numbers. The problem was the first number she gave me was a 1-800 number ( She seemed to be reading it off the catalogue. ). The second series of numbers she gave me ( I had to piece them all together over the course of the blathering as she gave me a different 3-4 every time I asked and only 3-4 numbers at a time ) was another 1-800 number, but to an insurance company in Michigan ( Google ftw ).
As for the 4 she kept repeating in that. She actually changed the 4 numbers she was insistent upon earlier in the call. The only thing that remained set in stone was that she would only give me 4.
The only part I included was the actual 4 vs 7 vs 10 arguement. The entirety of the stupid is actually twice that length.
Well, we don't always get what we want, do we? For instance you're not currently writhing under the angry, frothing mass of a marauding polar bear while your friends and family cheer it on from the patio. So we're *both* disappointed.
You know, it just doesn't matter what, precisely, that frothing polar bear is actually doing, but there are just some things that would be more cheer-worthy than others.
I haven't had a chance to listen to the audio portion of this particular day's "entertainment" but will do so as soon as I have the opportunity.
However, this guy, I find him hlarious. He somehow thinks Lynard Skynard is a guy, not a band. He probably also thinks that Led Zepplin and Jethro Tull are individuals and claims that his favorite Who song is "Teenage Wasteland."
Fun fact: Jethro Tull was an individual, and Ian Anderson is actually embarrassed that they were stuck with that as their name. Basically, most bands would never be called back for a second gig because they just weren't that good, and the managers would change the names for each appearance. They often had no idea who they were until they arrived at the venue. It was while appearing as Jethro Tull (an agriculturalist who invented the seed drill) that they were deemed good enough to be called back for a second show.
That is why GK has throngs of fangirls on this site (myself included). You are more than welcome to join us, but be warned: if I get my paws on him before the rest of you girls.....I'm not sharing.
What... am I the only GK fangirl who is willing to share? Sheesh, and I thought I was greedy....
I think it's already too late for you, but I CAN recommend staying clear of silk chinese shirts, training grounds in China and girls with names suspiciously close to hair-care products.
Hmmm... I must be either the outspoken "westerner" or the quiet one with an outgoing internet identity.

you have the patience of a saint. i would've hung up after the first "yeeess" "noo" "yeessss" exchange. first i was shaking my head in wonder, then i was giggling, but then i decided that something was wrong with this woman. maybe she was injured by a rogue narwhal.

I'd like to exercise my constitutional right to not give a fuck.

Having heard the whole, call, may I just say that it's a shame you can't play the whole thing (due to the personal info given). But I'm glad you made that little snippet, cause I felt like everyone else was missing out on one of the craziest things I've ever heard.
If only I could get recordings of some of my most insane calls to post. Although somehow the system seems to skip all the psycho callers, so most of my recorded calls aren't really all that interesting.
I think I caught you laughing at the NASA guy as he was explaining how they stole his DNA.
