Before I get to my story, I would like to tell you about a couple of fellow bloggers. Chris Doucette is a stand-up comic in the D.C. area. He blogs his weird experiences and his shows. Oh, and if you're an aspiring comic like myself, he'll give you a few pointers! Check out his blog and the other blogs he has listed. Check out a video clip from one of his shows at YouTube.com.
Another blog you should check out is by Aparna. She is also a comic from the D.C. area. Her blog is very interesting and funny. I wish I knew where she gets all those pictures! I guess if I ever need a picture of ANYTHING, I should just let her know! But check out their blogs. There's a link here on my blog now so none of you have no excuse! Shhh! Don't tell them I sent you though, they might change their web address or something!
Anyways, back to business...
I've posted before about leaving a message. I just can not stand it when someone calls, listen to the whole greeting, and then hangs up after the beep. But this definitely tops that.
Monday I came home from work and there were a few messages on the machine. I did the obvious thing and hit play. The first message, of course, was a hang up. Then the second message started. As soon as the person started "speaking" I stopped in my tracks as the question of "what the fuck?" went through my head. I just could not believe it, so I played it again hoping I didn't hear what I thought I did. Needless to say, the second time through confirmed my thoughts. The following is a transcript of what was said in the message:
"hmsblahceucslajiopc the dfsjiwcmaaklw and dlkjwpoibnnaalkw at dlkjafowiernd and lkjfiwonewckjewkmlkjiwofhhce 347"
WHAT THE FUCK!?! It's one thing to NOT leave a message but if you're gonna leave a message like that, I'd rather you not leave a message at all! I got my mom to listen to it, she couldn't even make out any more words than I did. It sounded like a woman (I think) and she had an accent of some kind (I think). Hell, for all I know it could have been the president of some 3rd world country asking me to save them from years of suffering!! I'll never know! All I know is I heard "the" "and" "and" and the numbers "347". Maybe it was some kind of coded language that only idiots understand! I have no idea. What I do know is Mrs. I'm Gonna Call Ox And Not Speak One Word Of Fucking English is my close encounter of the stupid kind! NEXT TIME SPEAK ENGLISH AND NOT IDIOT!
