The most unusual phone message of 2013 (so far)
When I'm on the road, I check my home office voicemail only every now and then. As chance would have it, I checked it last Thursday and found only the usual assortment of hang-ups and donation solicitations. Friday night, around three in the morning, as I was preparing to crash, I glanced at the machine (Yes, I still have a land line and an answering machine on it. I'm old. Get off my lawn.) and saw that I had one new message. Here's what I heard:
Phone company machine voice: You have a collect call from...
Male voice, deep, slow, and sexy: Hello, my darling
Phone company machine voice: an inmate at [name I won't list] prison in [city I won't list] in the California Penal System.
It continued, but I hit rewind, because I was sure I must not have heard correctly.
Nope. I had heard correctly. The same message played.
I have no idea why such weird shit happens to me, but it does.
Now, I can't decide whether to hope for a weirder message later this year or to pray that this one owns the crown.
Nah, I know myself. Bring on the weird!

You didn't take my call!
Your voice isn't usually that deep. Sorry for not recognizing you.
