What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

HELLO

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

What are the potential economic consequences of the U.S. following Europe's lead on climate policies, as discussed in the article?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Gun owners, imagine if an attacker comes to your home and takes your gun to use against you before you had the chance to pick it up. Would you regret owning a gun?

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

What are your political and economic beliefs? How did you form them, especially in comparison to those who hold opposing views?

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

After a few moments he returns.

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

What was your biggest culture shock going to Europe?

Sure no problem officer.

Yes sir it is.
