Just missed the April Fools prank call in.
About 6 years ago I went down to the Army recruiting office. My brother was discharged but still had some time left on his contract. I asked one of the recruiter dudes if I could call him from there. They said," sure". So on his caller ID it said "Army"
I called his number. Beeep!!! answering machine. He never answers his phone. He is the inventor of call screening.
I used that friendly recruiter voice, "Hey Matt!" (not his real name)" We haven't seen you in a while. How are you doing?"
"Well Matt if you have been watching the news lately it is kinda tough for us to get new high quality recruits. We have been going back and looking at our guys that have a year or more left on their tickets."
My brother is like 43 at this point.
" On Monday if you could go down to the VA medical center for a check-up that would be great. If you have some questions or can't make it Monday call ###-###-####". That was my work cell phone number.
He called a little later . I looked at the display, saw it was him and I answered like Carol Channing "Happy Birthday To You.. Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday Poopy Stinky, Happy Birthday to you".
Then he said, "I'm gonna Effing Kill Ya"
