I got a call from a guy who asked me how I was. I said I was "splendiferous" and asked him how he was. He was "fine." I went on for a couple of minutes asking what were the ODDS that he, a stranger would call me and we BOTH were just great? He asked me if I were my legal first name; I wouldn't reply but asked, "Who are you?" He said he was "Tom Moore" and was calling on the behalf of Publishers Clearing House and asked if I were familiar with them.

I said, "Well, ya know, I have a phone, but no TV. You see, I live in a hole in the ground. It's not quite a hobbit house, but kinda similar."

Tom hung up on me--not even a good-bye.

I guess he thinks people who live in holes in the ground have no money--why else would he hang up?

I had another a bit later from my "Medicare provider." I told her she wasn't and she hung up on me. What's with these people???

@Gwen_Wanderer It was just your day to be bothered.

@Jolanta I most often find it amusing! If I don't have time to mess with them, I just hang up.
