This reminds me of a time when I left a message with the local parking
enforcement officer who was a good friend of mine (I have off-street
parking where I work, or does it show) to call Mr. Lion at the
zoo...He got so pissed off he crashed his car into a brick wall when
he put his car into Reverse instead of Drive!

he passed on last year...boy, I miss him!

Our supervisors got wise to return calls to Mr. Lyons at the main number
of the zoo. Boy did they get ticked when I found another number for the Zoo
and left while you were out post-its with a request to return the call of a
Mr. G. Raffe!

Another fun variation of phone tag is when two guys in a work crew (all
equipped with pagers) are going to be off at a remote work site. Page each
of them and enter the pager number of the other. Do this several minutes
apart and they will decide to take a break and find a pay phone. Imagine the
upset when A returns his page and B's pager goes off.

It's a pity one can never witness the results of this, but it gives me
great glee to imagine them. In the UK (and I imagine elsewhere) we get
lots of cards and leaflets shoved through our letterboxes inviting us to
apply for double-glazing, house-cladding, loans at extortionate interest
rates, etc.

If the response is reply-paid, I fill out in the name of Myra Maines,
giving the address and phone-number of a Funeral Parlour.

No - the funniest name I ever came across was in real life


I had to call this girl into Magistrates Court one day and swear to God -
her name was "Carressa Hiscock"

Imagine naming your child that.

I always thought the best ones were When you call a Zoo or leave a message
for a boss to call Mr. L. E. Phant... supplied of course with the number
of the local Zoo... It's really worked!

A personal favourite is Justin Case... hahaha thought it up myself.
