We used to pretend we were from the electric company, and call random people with a survey of their electrical devices. The last question was “is your refrigerator running?” After the party on the other end would answer “yes”, we’d say “well if you want to eat dinner tonight, you better get up off your @$$ and catch it!” Sometimes we would substitute “TV”, and “watch Johnny Carson tonight”. The good old days !
Many time we kids tried to ask the bowling alley if they had 10 pound balls. Never could we get through that entire question without cracking up and ruining it.
