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

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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?

Does eating bread before bed make you fat? If so, why?

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

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

Why do Democrats call any Republican "Magats", like they are subhuman?

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.

After a few moments he returns.

How will the 2026 delimitation affect India as a whole keeping the new count of 888 seats in mind (not the current 543)? I’m looking for genuine answers with facts and not rhetoric. I will only listen to answers and not reply to any of them.

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

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.

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

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

Sure no problem officer.

At what point does trespassing become self defense? What are the necessary conditions for this line to be crossed from trespassing to self defense?

Yes sir it is.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
