“Hello? Um, can I help you?” There was a long pause, and Brian began looking more and more uncomfortable, before he finally said, “Look, it was a joke. Since the phone was still in the bedroom, Brian answered. At this point, it was about 10:30, and it seemed a little late for anyone to be calling.

Halfway through the new Spiderman movie Brian's parents had rented for us, the phone rang. All my friends were sharing uneasy looks, and we decided that maybe we'd just watch movies in Brian's room instead of make any more calls that night. “What the hell was that, Noah?” Tommy was staring at me, a very grossed-out expression developing across his freckled face. “Ohhh, pleassse, stay and chat awhile,” the whisper leaked out of the phone like oil, “I haven't had a nice long talk with anyone in.quite some time.” Okay, I'll admit, maybe I didn't have the most original material for my prank calls, but how did this person know I was going to use that specific joke?

“Let me guessss.my refrigerator is running, and I should go catch it?” It was just a slick kind of whisper, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. The voice on the other end caught me off guard. I dialed random number after number, until I found a winner and the line began ringing. But at least most of the time, they were so bad that it was actually funny.Īfter the poor guy hung up on him, the room burst into cackles as Luke passed the phone to me. “Hey mister, my name is John Deere! Are you looking to buy a tractor?” Luke was known for nothing, if not for his uncanny ability to have bad jokes. He put the phone on speaker as it rang.Ī cautious “hello” came from the other end of the line. Since it was Luke's idea, we decided he would make the first call he punched in the area code, then pressed seven more random digits.

Of course the rest of us agreed, and Brian retrieved the home phone from the living room, and brought it back to his bedroom. After an evening of wolfing down junk food and playing video games, Luke suggested we partake in our favorite pastime: prank calls. It was a crisp night in mid-October, and me, my best friend Tommy, and Luke, were all staying at our friend Brian's house. But I'll never forget the day we got a call back from one of our intended targets, and the events that followed, and we decided once and for all that we would never prank call again.

After all, our jokes were pretty harmless. I think most people we called understood it was just an adolescent game, and humored us. It was just funny to us, giving the unfortunate person who made the mistake of picking up a hard time for a minute or two before cracking up and disconnecting. My friends and I used to make prank calls when we were kids.
