So I get a call at about 9:00 this morning. As I groggily managed to spit out the word “Hello,” some guy on the end asks for a Dr. Spengler. Beat. “ Is there a Dr…Egon…Spengler?” I told the guy that Spengs and the other Ghostbusters are out saving the world right now, but if he'd be so kind as to leave a message, I'd be sure to give it to him. The dude started laughing his ass off and apologized, saying he figured it had to be a joke name when he saw it on the sheet. He then informed me that either I and/or Egon are eligible for 6 months of free magazine subscriptions. I politely turned him down and we hung up.
I figure one of my friends gave my number and home address to a survey or something (the telemarketer knew both). I'm not even mad, that was hilarious.
