Slumming it.

I got a call from a friend the other day. We exchanged pleasantries and it took me more than a few seconds to realize that it was, in fact, a wrong number. I stopped, laughed and proclaimed that he sounded "just like someone I know". Then he tried flirting. I think. I hung up too quickly to really find out.

Strange?

Well. Later that afternoon I got a second call. This time from the NYS Department of Police or some shit. A recording stating that I had received a call from a correctional facility and would I like to sign up for some program? I balked and hung up even quicker than before.

I laughed a bit, swore a bit more. And, after checking all the locks, quietly unplugged the phone for the day.
