Great Telephone Pranks-2

Gullible people are so much fun. Every now and then I end up with too much time on my hands and being the closet evil person that I am I just can't help myself. Here's a prank I played on my poor gullible sister.

One day I called my sister's house and when she answered I couldn't help myself. There's just something about her gullibility that brings out the devil in me. I disguised my voice and told her I was calling about her dog for sale. She stated that she did not have a dog for sale. I then said: "Well lady, I'm looking in the paper right now and it says you have a dog for sale". She said: "I do not have a dog for sale. It's obviously a misprint". I then asked: "Is this 768-6549?" to which she replied "Yes it is". In a very irate sounding manner I told her: "If that's your number and you're not going to sell your dog you shouldn't have advertised it in the first place." She continued to assure me that she had not placed an ad to sell her dog and after admonishing me for my rudeness hung up on me.

A few minutes later I called back and using a different disguised voice I again inquired about the dog for sale. She became quite agitated and told me that her phone had been ringing off the hook with people calling about "that damned dog". Again I asked if her number was 768-6549 and when she answered yes I again told her that if she wasn't going to sell her dog she shouldn't advertise that she was. By now she was becoming quite agitated and she stated: "Look, I don't know why you people keep calling me but I do not have a dog for sale and when I hang up this phone I'm going to call the newspaper and complain". Just before she hung up she asked: "By the way, what kind of dog is it?"
I replied "It says here that it's a Pekinese".

She thought for a moment and then said: "No I don't have a Pekinese. Now I do have a Boston terrier and I was thinking about giving him away but I haven't made up my mind yet". I told her that it had to be a Pekinese. I then thanked her and hung up.

A few minutes later I called back and using a third disguised voice I said; "Hi, I'm calling about your dog". She replied: "These calls are driving me crazy. Apparently the newspaper has misprinted an ad and ever since my phone has been ringing incessantly. Now for the last time I do not have a Pekinese for sale!" It was then that I said: "Oh no Ma'am, I'm not calling about a Pekinese. I'm calling about the Boston Terrier you're giving away".

She got really quiet for a moment and then asked: "How did you know I had a Boston terrier?" I then told her that the last guy who had called her knew I was looking for a Boston terrier and he had called me with her number. By now she was suspicious and said: "Godamnit, Chris Berry if this is you and one of your practical jokes I'll get you for this". I couldn't hold the laughter another second. She gave me a sound cursing and refused to talk to me for about a week.

Just about the time I was beginning to wonder if she'd ever speak to me again my doorbell rang. Thinking it was her I flung open the door and there on my porch wearing a red bow was a cute little Pekinese dog.
