Fun things to do.

(1) If you find a cell phone, like forgotten in a bar or restaurant, pick an overseas number you've researched and know to have a repeating recorded message, dial it, put the phone down and walk away.


(2) Pick a men's public washroom, preferably one you can monitor without appearing too creepy, especially one with a single urinal. To start put a penny in the urinal and leave. Check after fifteen or twenty minutes, then leave a nickel, then a dime, then a quarter, etc... all the way up to a Twonie. By keeping an eye on the bathroom you can discover who will pick up the smallest amount of pee-soaked coinage.


(3) When you answer the telephone and there's that 2-3 seconds of dead silence that warns you you're about to speak with a telemarketer, take a deep breath, prepare yourself, and when they say hello start your own telemarketing spiel on them. It's best if you have one already worked out, unless you have a flair for improvisation. My own favourite one so far has to do with helping out burned children... that way when they hesitate you can accuse them of supporting the burning of children. See if they can sell you better phone service then.
