Having worked with more than a few Indian guys I can tell you why they're all called Bob or Dave. It's down to the fact they know we'll never be able to pronounce their actual name, so they tell us one we will be able to say. The call centers also seem to mistakenly think we'll be nicer to someone called Bob.

Got this as an email the other day, and I swear I'm actually dying for a telemarketer to ring me so I can try it out:

The phone rang as I was sitting down to my evening meal, and as I answered it I was greeted with "Is this Karl Brummer"?

Not sounding anything like my name, I asked who is calling.

The telemarketer said he was with The Rubber Band Powered Freezer Company or something like that.

Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally and why was he calling this number.

I then said off to the side, "get some pictures of the body at various angles and the blood smears".
I then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had contacted a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had already traced his call and that he would be required for questioning, as well as receiving a summons to testify in this murder case.

I questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the victim, and could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call.

The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a shaky voice.

I then told him we had located his position and the police were entering the building to take him into custody. At that point I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away.

My wife asked me, as I returned to our table, why I had tears streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen minutes.

My meal was cold, but it was the best meal in a long, long time.

Okay, I admit that I have a twisted sense of humour, but I am truly hanging out to do this!!!

Hehehehehehehhe sounds like a plan to me, Police Squad styley!

You wouldn't do that sort of thing now would you Pete, like out side a pub with a piece of chalk, drawing around a friends body where there had been an alleged incident?

I didn't get where I am today by drawing around a friends body with a piece of chalk outside a pub where there had been an alleged incident.


Temp gun Dan?
