When a Stranger Calls
Phone call I took the other night ...
Me: Hello?
Female Voice: ... Listen, you fucker, you'd better call Alyssa.
Me: Huh?
Female Voice: I said you'd better call Alyssa, asshole!
Me: Um ... who's Alyssa?
Female Voice: (long pause) ... I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number.
If anyone reading this happens to know some guy who needs to call Alyssa, well, you might let him know. He's in deep trouble.

Nice cover up. Do you think Mrs. Chase will buy it?
Now that's your fault. You NEVER answer the phone unless you recognize the number. And even then, rarely. They can leave a message. That's the beauty of voice mail. It's a mobile answering machine, so screen those bitches! Rarely does anyone's call require your immediate attention. Assuming it's someone you even want to talk to, they're usually just yammering about something that happened yesterday or blathering about plans you have 2 days from now. Find out what the hell it is they want and get back to them when you're damn good and ready, I say.
Chase, why haven't you returned Ms. Milano's calls? She wants to be in the Derby, you fucker!
Ummm. Chase ... did they leave a number to call?
