I got this in my e-mail. Enjoy!

The phone rang as I was sitting down to my anticipated evening meal,
and as I answered it I was greeted with, "Is this William Wagenhoss?"

This didn't sound anything like my name, so I asked, "Who is
calling?" The telemarketer said he was with The Rubberband-Powered Freezer Company or something like that and then I asked him if he knew William
personally and why was he was calling this number.

I then said off to the side, "Get really good pictures of the body
and all the blood." I then turned back to the phone and advised the
caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line
because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a
summons to appear in the local courthouse to testify in this murder
case.

I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address,
phone number at home & at work, who he worked for, how he knew the
dead guy and could he prove where he had been about one hour before
he made this call.

The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were
given in a shaky voice. I proceeded to tell him we had located his
position at his work place and the police were entering the building
to take him into custody. At that point, I heard the phone fall and
the scurrying of his running away.

My wife asked me as I returned to our table, why I had tears
streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about
fifteen minutes. My meal was cold, but oh-so-very enjoyable!!!

LOL! That is Funny!

My friend did something like that when his Dad died of a heart attack. A few weeks after the funeral, they were getting calls from telemarketers trying to sell "whatever". So my friend proceeded to give them all the address to his Dad... at the Cemetary.
