What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Sure no problem officer.

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Yes sir it is.

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Have you ever lied to your family? What were the circumstances?

After a few moments he returns.

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
