I am warning you...this may offend some of you. It's not nice, it's certainly not mature, but it made me laugh so hard I think I peed a little. If you recall from earlier posts, I talked about my fam. I have 2 younger brothers, one of which is about to start his 5th year in college. He and I are very similar people...we look alike, laugh alike, and have almost the exact same sense of humor. So I obviously adore him. Here is where this prank call comes in. I am driving home from work on Friday...let me set the scene...it is 6:00 p.m. I am only as far as Buckhead at this point (Buckhead is approx. 20 miles from my work, 10 miles from my home. It took me an hour to reach that point on Friday afternoon). I am in a mood of sorts, when a call comes in on my cell piece. It is a 216 area code, so I answer, as this is an area code from Cleveland, where I am from. Here is a bit of dialogue:
Caller: Hi this is....from the relay center, number.....have you ever done a relay call before?
Me: Uhhh.....
Caller: I have a caller on the other line that is hearing impaired. They will type what they want to say, I will relay it to you, and type your answer back to them. Sound good?
Me: Thinking to myself, I don't know any deaf people. I choose to accept the call anyway. Maybe a friend of my parents, who knows at this point. You can only imagine the things running through my head.
Needless to say, I figured out it was my brother by the first thing he had the relay guy say to me, and I died. Literally laughed so hard I almost caused a wreck. My brother used a relay center FOR DEAF PEOPLE to prank call people.
Now I am sorry if this offended you, but this is honestly one of the most genius things I have ever been witness to. The kid may not graduate from college until 2008, but he sure does have an imagination.
