He's probably been kicked out of the house by his wife and is looking for somewhere to store his clothes till he finds an apartment.

He also might like to keep up with current events, like we pulled out all our troops a long time ago!

I got a call on my cell phone today the number displayed was unfamiliar to me but I answered anyway.

No one answers but I get this automated message saying that I had just won a cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines of course I never entered into any contest.

I hung up at that point and did not even bother to listen to how to claim my prize.I am fairly certain it was some sort of scam.Get someone all excited then they follow the "claim your prize instructions" which most likely is you giving away your bank account information.

Is there a pause and then a ship horn sound? I get those about once a month.

If there was a horn it did not come though there was the typical pause that you get when any automated phone system calls you.Still it seemed suspect to me.

I also get calls from Texas based bill collector they always leave a message looking for Larry Diem who ever that is my guess is that he is some South Vietnamese Army officer that was involved in the black market and sold lots of US government M16 back in 1970 and now they want their money back.(Diem is a Vietnamese name) sometimes they leave a message looking for Daniel Nguyen I wonder why are shifty Vietnamese gangsters using my phone number.(most likely they take their number and use my area code)

I also got something from the UN secretary, but I deleted the mail. He has the bad habit of spamming my e-mail with low quality porn and always want to give me money from the UN.

you know why I don't trust the un? They always offer to split their embezzled money with me! Me! Not someone who is even reasonably smart. Thus, I must conclude that they are completely incompetant

You yanks are lucky. In Australia, most phone calls are an Indian person saying "Hello. I am from Microsoft. We have detected a fault in your computer. Please tell us your password."

Sailor Steve · 01-29-13, 09:11 PM

You're the lucky ones. I have to call them at least once a week and beg them to take my password.

Love that. I actually would like to get those phone calls. I think those Indian Tech Guys are hilarious.

We're ignoring them so much that they're going out of business
