Stuck at home at the moment, so I'm getting the cold calls. Not many, to be fair, but I think I just had my second favourite of all time. Not hugely funny, per se, but it just felt... surreal.
Me: "Hello?"
Stranger: "Is that Mr Stock?"
Me: "No. I'm afraid Ms Stock is out at the moment. Can I help?"
[pause]
Stranger: "Are you Mr Stock?" (sounding exasperated)
Me: "No. I am Mr Lewis."
[pause]
Stranger: "Holy Ma..."[click]
[end of call]
Holy what? Holy Mary? Holy Mackeral? I feel deprived now...
I'm Cold Calling today
Personally I think he was calling from home. His dear mother was making him a cheese sandwich and what you didn't hear (she was probably just waving the options to the cold caller from the kitchen) was she was enquiring if he wanted Gorgonzola cheese or Swiss Cheese (The one full of holes). Of course, he forgot he was on the phone to you and replied
"Holey Ma!"
then realising he'd said that out loud instinctively he hung up the phone out of embarrassment.
Pretty obvious if you think about it
