Guy on the phone: “Hi boss, you’re not going to believe this...”
That reminded me of working when I was in high school/college. One establishment that typically employed only the entry level kids (movie theater) kept a running list of the funniest and bizarre excuses for missing work or being late. Some of them were pretty funny.
They released the recording of the taxi driver and his dispatcher. He told the dispatcher he was hit by a plane and the dispatcher asked if it was a small remote controlled plane. The driver said his car was ruined.
