Ok, not kidding, not making this up.
I was just sitting here surfing AR15 when the phone rang. I was little bit annoyed by the caller, and that little voice in me said..fuck with them..."
Here is the transcipt, as I best recall. Just happened 10 minutes ago:
"Hello, Mr. Allen?"
Me: "Yes?"
"This is Elsa, from the Shriner's Hospital for Children."
Me: "Elsa? Is this a joke?"
"<pause> Uhm, no sir...?"
Me: "Well, Elsa if you think it is funny, it's not."
"<longer pause> Uhm, no it's not a joke."
Me: "I am telling you, if this is a joke, it is in poor taste. My nephew died night." (as an aside to the reader, I have a nephew, actually, many, but none of them died last night...)
"<even longer pause>No, really, it's not a joke, sir. I am from the Shriner's Hospital for Children."
Me: "Elsa, For the last time, this is not funny. If you think this is some kind of joke, it's not. It's in poor taste."
"<longest pause>No, it's not a joke."
Me: "I am going to hang up now, Elsa."
"Uh.."
<I hung up...>
So, am I doomed to Hell, or did I do good?
Poll coming right up.
