The three brothers from Nunavut (language)

[Mr Hero]

This started as a pretty typical phone call but devolved very quickly into GK territory.

Me: Opening spiel
Brother 1: Yes, I'd like to book a room for the 18th.
Me: *Asks for last name, first name, and telephone number*
B1: *Provides the relevant information*
Me: What's your address?
B1: Uh...here talk to my brother.

B2: Can you start all over?
Me: *asks for first name and phone number*
B2: *provides all the info*
Me: What's your address?
B2: Hold on. Here let me pass this to our brother, Chris

Oh good I don't have to start all over. I have most the info.

Me: What's the address?
B3: *starts giving a real sounding address* No wait, it's 1113 Fuck You Fag lane
Me: *click*

OK, to their credit, they're not from Nunavut, but a quick google of the area code puts them in Vancouver, BC.

Seems like kind of a lame prank call to me.

[superhotelworker]

Ugh. Prank callers. They're interesting, but annoying. Kind of like a self lighting firecracker. You want to play with it.. but you know it's gonna hurt. :P

[MoscowMinion]

Kind of like a self lighting firecracker.

Self lighting firecracker? Where?

Anyway...back on topic. That seems rather pitiful for a prank call....I mean, really, a little creativity makes it much more tolerable for the person who has to listen to their stupid little spiel.

[Argabarga]

There must not have been much goin' on in Vancouver that night, guess that happens when hockey season is over.

[Evil Queen]

They made an international call just for a prank? Wow, that's dedication.

[Mr Hero]

They made an international call just for a prank? Wow, that's dedication.

That's assuming that the number they provided was the same number they were calling from. We don't have caller ID.

[BrenDAnn]

It's too bad that you don't. There would be a myriad of fun and evil things you could do with that number to get revenge on the arseholes!

[Sonoma]

Am I dating myself if I said the first thing I thought of was "Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother Darrel, and my other brother Daryl."

[Andara Bledin]

Am I dating myself if I said the first thing I thought of was "Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother Darrel, and my other brother Daryl."

Yes.

But I thought the same thing.

Prank Calls = Lame

Straight line equation.

Had a kid start calling the Hut of Pizza one night.

One of the "clever" ones who would repeat everything you say until you got flustered, or lost your temper. He would then giggle and hang up.

He got me, by process of elimination.

Me: "Thank you for calling Hut of Pizza, will this be for delivery or carry out?"

Clever Boy: "Thank you for calling Hut of Pizza, will this be for delivery or carry out?" Said with the appropriate sarcastic tone of voice.

Just to be sure, we do it again.

Me: "Thank you for calling Hut of Pizza, will this be for delivery or carry out?"

Clever Boy: "Thank you for calling Hut of Pizza, will this be for delivery or carry out?" Said with the appropriate sarcastic tone of voice.

Hm. And again. And then again.

Finally I said, in a bored, matter-of-fact tone, "Annoying little c*cksucker, ain't ya?"

Clever Boy: "Annoying little c*cksu . . . HEY! You can't talk to ME like that!"

Me: "Oh? How come?"

Clever Boy: "Well, because, I'll, uh. . . I'll KICK YOUR ASS!"

Me: "Kick my ass. Yeah, yeah. Look, kid, run along and hump somebody else's leg, okay?"

Clever Boy: "But, but you can't . . . but . . . I'll KICK YOUR. . . "

Me: "That's the spirit!" <click>

Good times.

I love it when Uncle Tony tells that story, that and the one about incompetent managers that included the line "shipping the swag home in boxcars!"
