One time a kid called and asked if my fridge was running to which I replied "Dude, that is so rude. My fridge lost it's legs in the war and cannot run at all" the kid got all serious apologized profusely and quickly hung up.
Once my brother called people in his friend's contacts list and tried to sell them inflatable underwear. They come in XXL or XXS sizes. And if you order now, we will ship you a pair of inflatable socks free, you just cover the shipping!
