Prank call

During lunch today Mrs T and myself talked about funny pranks we played on people when kids - she threw moldy tomatoes and peaches out of the balcony onto the neighbors rooftops - neighbors called the police, she was scared to death and never to this day told her parents.
I on the other hand found such actions boring as a child. What I did find interesting though was prank calling. So one day a friend and I dialed a number off the top of our heads and it rang! What a feeling that was, incredible rush of adrenalin only a quite and shy child like me could experience - shameful! Anyhow, this old lady picked up the phone on the other end, and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Afternoon madame, I'm calling from a travel agency and would like to inform you that you have been selected as the winner of a holiday to America!

Old lady: Oh my, thank you. How did you find me?

Me: You were interviewed a few years ago on the street and we have now finally chosen you as the winner.

Old lady: Oh wow, I am so happy. Although I must say I do not recall ever being interviewed...

Me: Madame, you have won and all you have to do is give me your name now and take the number of the person who will give you the coupons.

After the poor old lady gave me her name and I gave her my mums work phone number i hung up and screamed in delight. Successful prank! On to the next one!

Fast forward a week and my mum comes home one evening and says: "The strangest thing happened today, this old lady called my work saying she'd won a holiday and she wants to claim it. I explained to her this could not have happened as we never give away holidays - we charge for them.....blah blah blah, I can't even remember what else she said but the look on her face told me that the look on my face was telling her something! And I was busted.
