How to Make Prank Phone Calls Funny and Memorable

When I was a kid I used to play hooky from school just so I could make prank phone calls. True story. Maybe I was just a weird kid, but maybe I was on to something. I think you can gain some social perspective by making fake phone calls. It's not that you're making fun of the person on the other end but, rather, gaining insight into a different way of life. Prank, or crank, phone calls get a terrible rap. This is mostly because of our nation's insecurities but also because of 'Crank Yankers' and 'The Jerky Boys'.

Mainstream squares hate the idea of prank phone calls because they look at them as personal affronts to the sanctity of their homes. Well, this is a load of bullcrap if you ask me. We, The Nation, need to stop being so damn PC and uptight. Why can't we loosen up and have some fun with one another. If every man and woman in this country made one prank phone call a day, the world would be a better place. We'd all get a sneak peak into somebody else's life by transforming our own. Shit, this is practically the American Dream.

How to Make Prank Phone Calls Funny and Memorable

-Pick your target correctly: Don't just flip through the Yellow Pages and randomly pick out a name. Hone into your prank call dreamscape. Figure out what you want to get out of this. Do you want to prank call a home or a business. This is a big step. The choice you make here will say a lot about you as a person.

-Home calls: Once you've decided that you wanted go the private sector route, you need to narrow it down some more. Who do you want to talk to today? A man or a woman? And sure, it's okay to pick a target just because you like the name. Like I said, have fun with this.

-Business calls: If you're going to go with the business prank calls, remember a few important things. Don't get roped into buying anything. If you're talking to a jewel salesman don't commit to buying a diamond. Jewel salesmen are snakes, snakes in the grass I tell you.

-Pick your scheme: Remember, this is your moment, don't let it pass you by. You can be anything you want. Transform yourself completely. If you're a truck driver then become a ballerina.

-Record it: One word: prosperity.

    ahh for safety u should remember always do it on a cell or any phone u can turn off (or disconnect really easily right away in case they try to track you)

    and dial *67 before the number to make yourself invisible to caller id.

    the phonecalls to chinese restaraunts are the best, and there are kinds of prank calls where you give numbers away such as order food from China King and then having it delivered to the phone number of China Star
