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

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?

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

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

Does centrifugal force teach us about gravity?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Sure no problem officer.

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

What are scads fish? What types are there?

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

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