Garden Gnomes

“Hi, I saw your advert in the local newspaper, with you saying you would like thirtytwo garden gnomes, would you still like them?” … “What ?” … “I am speaking to Sander yes ?” … “Yeah you are…but wtf… garden gnomes?” … “Yeah, uhm it says in the advert that people should call late at night, because you work over the day, so, but do you want them or not?” … “What, the garden gnomes?!” … “Yeah, those, you know, with their nice red hoods, and one with a shovel, they’re like two inch high and…”

Last night I got a prank call, which made me laugh very much. Some guy calls me if I would like to buy 32 garden midgets. On saying that I don’t have a garden, only a balcony with dead plants he replies saying there’s even one with a watering-can.

After a few minutes and he mentioned the name of the newspaper, and where it’s stated it reminded me of a friends who lives in that area. While he continues talking -which I don’t mind- I google my gmail looking for the guys address. After he says about dropping the figures of, I recall he can place them at a friend of mine, who lives there –saying the street name-

Silence..

“You Bastard, you knew it.”

The friend was sitting next to the guy, who called me saying they do this sometime and it’s ‘super fun time’. I got the joke too early, he says, but no matter and I give him some names he could call aswell.

Later on, I kept on thinking of this thing, this prank calling. It is a nice business. When not getting any sleep, I ran to my pc and googled prank call company’s. And yes, it already exists; company’s who get paid for making prank calls. Funny… I didn’t knew that… it was a good idea though.

And on browsing I came up with this funny prank call, it doesn't have to do anything with garden gnomes, but It is still worth mentioning, just listen:
