Mystery caller revealed!

By Logan | November 5, 2008

We’re reasonably sure we’ve discovered who left this fantastic message on my editor’s phone at work. A cranky old guy came in to the office one morning when I wasn’t around and wouldn’t leave without speaking to someone. My buddy Stacy sat down with him, and here’s the first thing he says to her:

“Why does the Daily Herald hate the Marines?”

He goes on to say that he’s been trying to place an announcement in the paper but nobody will talk to him. What’s worse, he said he canceled his subscription after I hung up on him three times that morning. I hadn’t even been in the office yet.

So he’s gotta be the guy who doesn’t understand answering machines! He got my voice mail three times that morning and thought I was hanging up on him. And sure enough, there was one message on my phone, about 10 seconds of silence. I put his announcement in the paper today.

Also in the paper today is my latest skinny column. Enjoy.
