HA!we used to do it to friends a lot years ago,,,i got a call from this cop with a fake sounding deep voice saying my car has been stolen,i said yeah yeah who is this?is that you pete?he says to go and look at my car,,man it was gone,i said hey my cars been stolen,,he replies thats what ive been trying to tell you sir,its at so and so play ground smashed into the swing set,id only just re spayed the thing aswell boy was i pissed,,and then when i moved state i kept in touch with lots of mates,,i rang this one guy and acting like a cop explained his car he bought four years ago was stolen and he has to hand it over,,he had spent some good dollars on fixing it up like complete engine and trans rebuild(351 windsor and auto)man he was upset,when i told him it was me he got angry!,,ah the old crank calls.

i like the "reverse crank call"aswell,i had this lady phone about carpet cleaning,,you know like good morning sir we have a rep in your area doing carpet steam cleaning at a special rate etc,,so i lead her on with questions like who moves all my furniture?and does it take long to dry?what about fumes,my wife dosent like fumes,etc,,wow that sounds really good etc with an excited voice,,so after shes done her best and its been a ten minute call she asked so shall i book you in?i reply no it wont do me any good,my house is fully tiled throughout!

Except that there isn't any product called "Prince Harry", much less a product in a can.  Prince Albert was a pipe tobacco that came in a can.

I don't have to explain what a "record player"is, do I? ;D ;D

One coworker used to leave the mobile phone on the desk while going to the bathroom. I managed to get it and edit my entry in his phonebook by "091" -the spanish equivalent to 911-

I went to the other side of the office and called him. As the police number appeared, I changed my voice and told him whether it was him and whether he had a car model X -which I knew it has-. He said yes, and I said it was the police, and his car had been stolen and used in a terrorist attack, been used to blast a bomb. When the guy turned pale I couldn't resist the laughter and then the prank call was over, but it was great while it lasted!

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

When I bought my house, it had no concrete driveway or garage, so as I worked at a "Plant Hire" agency, I asked all the guys if they knew a good (cheap) concreter. I spoke to a builder who gave me the phone number for a guy who did some work for him for a very good price. I rang the guy up and he said he'd come out the next morning to give me a quote.

I had to take the next morning off work, but my boss was a good guy and covered for me. The concreter, on the other hand, never showed. Arsehole. I rang him an hour after the agreed meeting time and he just said, "I looked at the map and you live too far away". No phone calls, no nothing. Double arsehole.

I went back to work in a black mood, and told my boss, the plant hire company's Operations Manager. He rang the concreter and told him he needed a big shopping centre car park concreted, was he interested in coming over to do a quote straight away? The concreter said "Sure!", even though the "car park" address was about twice as far away as my place.

My boss then sent a company rep over to the address to see if the concreter showed up, and yep, he showed up right on time. My boss rang him again and asked him where he was? The concreter said he was at the address that my boss gave him, and my boss abused him and said he must have written the address down wrong, and gave him a similar sounding address 5 suburbs over. My bioss said, "Now don't fcuk me around any more mate, I'll give you 30 minutes to get over here, then I'm leaving."

The rep followed the concreter from a safe distance, but the concreter sped out of sight. Shortly afterwards, he saw some flashing lights, and as he drove past, he saw a cop in an unmarked car booking the concreter, obviously for speeding. The rep rang my boss and told him, so my boss waited a few minutes, and then rang the concreter to ask him where he was again?

The concreter said he'd been booked for speeding and had been given a 200 dollar fine! My boss just accused him of bull#$%*ting him for running late and told him that he'd get another concreter for the carpark job, and hung up. I was sitting beside him listening to the whole thing on speaker, pissing my pants laughing!

I really liked those guys, it was an awful job, but a great company to work for. ;D     
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
