Telemarketers 

The phone rang as I was sitting down to my anticipated evening meal, 

and as I answered it I was greeted with, "Is this William Wagenhoss?" 

This didn't sound anything like my name, so I asked, "Who is calling?" 

The telemarketer said he was with The Rubberband-Powered Freezer 

Company or something like that, and then I asked him if he knew 

William personally and why he was calling this number. I then said 

off to the side, "Get really good pictures of the body and all the blood." 

I then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had 

entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had 

already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to appear 

in the local courthouse to testify in this murder case. 

I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, 

phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead 

guy and could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made 

this call. The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his 

answers were given in a shaky voice. 

I proceeded to tell him we had located his position at his work place 

and the police were entering the building to take him into custody. At 

that point, I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running 

away. My wife asked me as I returned to our table, why I had tears 

streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about 

fifteen minutes. My meal was cold, but oh-so-very enjoyable.
