This is a true story, I'll try to make it snappy because I really don't feel like typing...

About 10 years ago some friends and myself were pranking people (this was before the widespread use of caller IDs) and I left a message on this answering machine, basically talking nonsence in a crazy desperate sounding voice.

Fast forward about 5 years, it was late at night and I was watching TV at a friend's house. The show was Jenny Jones or one of those kind of programs.

The guests on the show were an estranged couple, much bad blood between them. The woman accused her ex-husband of leaving harrasing phone messages. They played one message, and I swear IT WAS MY VOICE. This really freaked me out. The man denied it was him, and why not, it wasn't him!

This really happened.

*edit- Not that I currently advocate pranking people, but you are a dumb shit if you don't use *67 before you dial a # to prank someone.

Let me say again I don't advocate pranking people anymore. Now I have a daughter, and a job, and a better sense of morals than 10 years ago, I realize how bad harrassing people over the phone is.

(but, it was fun calling Walgreens and ask the busy night cashier to read me the headlines of the tabloids.)
