Fwd: A great telemarketer come back....

Subject: A great telemarketer come back....

The phone rang just as we were sitting down to dinner. I answered it and was
greeted with, "Is this William Wagenhoss?"

This didn't sound anything like my name, so I asked, "Who is calling?"

The telemarketer said he was with The Rubberband-Powered Freezer Company or
something like that. I asked him if he knew William personally and why was he
was calling this number. I then said, off to the side, "Get really good
pictures of the body and all the blood." I turned back to the phone and
advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line
because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to
appear at the local courthouse 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 dead guy 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 proceeded to tell him we had located his position at his work place and the
police were entering the building to take him into custody.

At this 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 food
was cold, but oh-so-very enjoyable.
