He goes on to list another 10 examples.
This is a good one to do if someone phones you and it is a wrong number.
Normally when a wrong number is dialled only 1 or at most 2 numbers have been
dialled wrongly.
So this is how it goes:

You answer the telephone.

You : Hello.
Caller : Hello, can I speak to Alan please?
You : I'm sorry, I think you must have a wrong number.
Caller : Is that not 639 8363 ?
You : (SHOUT) No, you twat, it's 153 6598. Are you some kind of moron?

Hang up abruptly.
They will wonder how the hell they managed to dial every number wrongly.

Another good one is to keep the caller on the phone for as long as possible
by trying to find out as much as possible about him/her.
