Me: standard business greeting
BR: JOHN?
Me: NO!
BR: Is John there?
Me: Which John, I have several here (I know full well which he wants, but it's more fun this way)
BR: John .... ahhh ... Liedon
Me: Lead singer of the Sex Pistols?
BR: What?
Me: We don't have a John Liedon here.
BR: He then gets the last name right ...
I am saved by the bell!
Phone rings ...
Me: Please hold for a moment
And when I came back, he was gone ...
as before, I love giving people who are running cons a hard time!
