That's what I meant when I said that I give them "Jenny's Number"

Lol some of these young ones might not know who Jenny is. Smiley Wink

I tried to call Jenny in the 80's.  I bet you did, too.

Oh back in the day when caller id didn't exist, everyone wad doing a phone prank. Nowadays I do it when they call me ...
My favorite is when I answer and say:

Chernobyl Nuclear Plant ...
Yugoslavia Consulate in Gibraltar ...
and so on, most of the time they hung up before I say anything.

 

I will start Jenny's number I never thought about it. Thanks for the Great Idea!
