After the tone

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to talk about this:

I was reading hydrogen's post about receiving weird emails from strangers, and it reminded me. Two days ago I arrived home from work to find a message on my answering machine. The caller ID said "Out of Area", and it's a voice of a guy I don't recognize, who sounds about my age. This is what he says:

"We should make actual cars that roll."

Haha! What?

Except, unlike hydrogen, who seems to be amused yet leery, I think this is fucking fantastic (mine wasn't lecherous, though). Who is this guy? What the hell is he talking about? Did he call me specifically? I wish he would call EVERY DAY with more wisdom, but he didn't call yesterday. We SHOULD make actual cars that roll! Or something!

Holy fuck, that's fantastic.

Yeah, that is great. The only messages I ever get on my machine go- well, I only get to check my machine in New Brunswick every couple of weeks, during the summer, but there are always literally about ten messages, and either nine or ten of them are hispanic-sounding people going, "hello? hello?"

Yeah!

What is UP with that? I've been getting these "Hello? Hello?..." messages lately, seems like 2 or 3 a day. And that's all they ever say. It's not just one person, either. And they always sound so confused to have reached an answering machine.

There must be some mistake, I have an Aunt who lives in New Brunswick.
