My county-issued cell phone rings.
Me: Big Flat County Bioterrorism and Emergency Response Team, this is Shay.
Caller: WHAT?
Me: This is the on-call number for the county Bioterrorism and Emergency Response Team. How may I help you?
Caller: Um...never mind. Hangs up.
(When I check the caller ID number against Google, it's a bill collection agency or a telephone solicitor. This happens at least once per month).

Better than Ernie.
Love it! I think I'll start answering my phone that way!
What a way to start my day! How to confuse the dickens out of someone.
Way to go Shay! Yeah, I know it was not intentional but it sure did work.
I'm a rotten person, but I really enjoy this.
I have recently made anatomically unlikely and theologically unsympathetic suggestions to unsolicited callers on my cell phone.
I feel bad that some of them are simply taking a job to feed themselves or their families, but come on.
