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

Sure no problem officer.

HELLO

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

After a few moments he returns.

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

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?

Do Flat Earthers exist today? If so, where do they live?

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.

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

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

What discoveries in AI research have changed our understanding of intelligence evolution?

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

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.

In your opinion, what is the worst rock band in history and why do you think they gained a large following?

Yes sir it is.

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

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

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

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