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

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

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

HELLO

How did a computer scientist such as Geoffrey Hinton manage to win a Nobel Prize in physics when computer science already has its own Nobel Prize equivalent in the Turing Awards?

Sure no problem officer.

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.

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

Kuorans, what are some things unique to your country?

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

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

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

Is heroin really as good as people say it is?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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.

How do I stop my 12-year-old daughter from crying herself to sleep? I have punished her and she still does it.

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

After a few moments he returns.

Yes sir it is.

Is it still wrong to spread misinformation even if it's only to troll people rather than harming them?

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?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
