yep, back in the day of payphones (I had to put the coins in at my risk before operator dialed the office -hearing coins clanging thru was a no) I called in sick on the way to a ski area ! I did not try this again as a ski injury would be hard to explain !That works as long as you don't have a ski injury.
The one at 1:55 made the rounds a few years ago, and maybe the local news? Crazy how long it seems to take for the people to react.Not funny, but oddly mesmerizing-
