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

Yes sir it is.

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

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 people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

After a few moments he returns.

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?

Why can't they repair the damage caused by Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X?

HELLO

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Sure no problem officer.

Why are people so terrified or bothered that a person has original creative ideas, hobbies or unique interests?

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??

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

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?

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.

Why does Africa have all mineral resources but she is suffering economically?

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

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