Turns out, I am one cool octogenarian. So I am in the local grocery store and I drop my med. card in the parking lot. [View all]

A customer picked it up and turned it in to the office. When I get home, I look at my phone and find several calls from the supermarket but no message. I call them and the assistant manager tells me about the card - I can come an pick it up.

Me; "What was with the several phone calls and no voicemail message?"

She: "Oh, everybody liked your outgoing message so I had to call your phone to play it back so's everyone could hear it. It's cool, because none of us were born before 1964."

The Message: "If you are a lawyer or bill collector, you are hearing this message because I am deceased. Anyone else, you know what to do since you've been doing it since 1964."
