critter Inner circle Spokane, WA 2653 Posts	Posted: Feb 12, 2012 05:48 pm 0 Okay I found it: Quote: 1. Pig's Feet Call up a butcher or the meat department at a supermarket and ask if they have pig's feet. When the person on the line says yes, tell him to wear shoes so that no one will notice. Then hang up. http://www.prank-ideas-central.com/funny-prank-calls.html "The fool is one who doesn't know what you have just found out." ~Will Rogers

Don't think I've heard that one. I'm still waiting on the rest of this one. The rest of this one, or rather, the way I used to do it fifty years ago. Pick a random number out of the phone book. Dial it. When person answers, you ask them if their refrigerator is running. When they answer "Yes" you say, "Well you better go catch it!" A variation would be to say you're from the electric company and that people have been reporting that their refrigerator stopped running. You ask the to go check on theirs. They do, and they return and say "Yes" and you deliver the same line. I think Critter got the answer I was looking for, but thanks. Already knew the refrigerator one. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." I won't forget you Robert.
Bob1Dog Inner circle Wife: It's me or this houseful of 1159 Posts	Posted: Feb 13, 2012 05:50 am 0 Aha! Now I see my error! Mea Culpa! What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about? My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums.

See what I've missed by never watching the Simpsons! I'm not a fan. I just saw some segment somewhere that showed a bunch of those pranks all at once. Some things just leach into one's life. ~michael baker The Magic Company
Destiny Inner circle 1429 Posts	Posted: Feb 13, 2012 02:47 pm 0 I'm trying to make up a Michael specific one playing on Baker/Bread/Dough but it's 12.45am here and I'm too tired - must try again tomorrow - could be fun, but probably an expensive prank call to make from Australia.
