Telepaphonic

Just now:

Me: "Hello, ----- -----'- office"

Guy: "Hi. is ---- ----- in please?"

Me: "No she's not, may I take a message?"

Guy: "Have her call ----- after 1:30"

Me: (looking at caller ID) "Are you at --- --- ----?"

Guy: "Telepathy?"

Me: "Ha, ha, no."

Guy: "No, how did you know that?"

Me: "Your number?"

Guy: (Getting irritated/frightened) "Yeah... how... do you have a phone tracer or something like that?"

Something like that.

Mental note, don't be a smart ass anymore. Caller ID is still a new feature to some people.
