I am so tickled: today, after nearly ten years as a call completions telephone operator, I finally got my first-ever Prince-Albert-in-a-can call. Woohoo! Funny part was that it was from an eight-year-old kid who wouldn't know Prince Albert in a can from Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick. I told him he needed newer material.

On a related note, a coworker shared an attempted April Fools crank call that has become my new definition of FAIL: "Hi! Does your refrigerator work?" *facepalm*

I just read this out loud to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], and now he wants to do hilariously wrong prank calls too.

"Hello! Is your refrigerator functional? Well then you seem to have made a good choice, and must be getting your money's worth!"

Or for a robot trying to understand human "humor":
"Greetings! Does your refrigerator adequately cool your foodstuffs and beverages? Well then you better go catch it! HaHA!"

I hope they told that person to "Make like a tree, and go away"

Awww, and nobody told the kid that Prince Albert isn't in a can; it's around front but the guiche is closer to the can... 10 years later he'll call back when he knows what that means.

Q: How do you confuse an Irishman?

A: Put two shovels up against the wall and tell him to take his pick!
