Ring-- ring.  It was the spouse's cell, and since I had seen it in passing and knew where it was, I answered it.
"Hello."
"Dees ees Mechrosoft techneecal department.  May I spik to owner of the computer, plis?"
"You are calling from where?"
"Thees ees Mechrosoft; they heff techneecal department.  May I spik to owner of the computer, plis?"
"What computer?"
Click (from the caller)

Oh we love playing with those people - just makes my day! Even George goofs on them. Puts on a little old senile man voice and strings them along - I totally laugh my a$$ off.

Grace, we eldsters make our fun where we find the opportunity. Good on George!

Chuck, he actually cut himself off before I had a chance to mess with his head.

I like that. I'm normally so annoyed that I just lift up the receiver and hang up. Does anyone get "real" calls anymore? I feel like my phone is just for calls such as these.

Lin, I don't know the ratio of junk calls to "real" calls for anyone else, but I know it is a high number hereabouts.
