Remember the days before Caller ID, when you could prank call a friend's parents or order a truckload of cole slaw on their behalf?
We're cleaning out our phone messages and came across a funny one. Believe it was left a month ago.
Someone named Misty said, "...I'd like some information on your mo-tor-cyyyy-cle lower-ing links." If you read that paraphrase in a tone that pretends to not know what a motorcycle lowering link is, it's even funnier."
Our Caller ID listed the small town where Misty called from.
The next two days we received similar calls from bike shops. Asked for some basic information. Never placed orders, but they were specific about the years of Yamahas in need of lowering. Now, I'm a bettin' man, and I'd bet the new Yamaha YZ450F that Misty knows the callers.
We never returned Misty's call. Beside not wanting to get into games, we figure she's busy calling other companies from her cell phone and disguising her voice as a naive and curious would-be parts buyer. And we're too busy shipping out YamaLinks. Go figure.
For the record, the most cole slaw we ever ordered was 22 pounds. Mike Wilson's mom was not very happy!
