I beg your pardon?

‘Ah, Jonathan, how are you?’

‘Oh, hello. Haven’t spoken to you in ages. Yes, I’m fine, thanks.’

‘Good. What animal has a gestation period of thirty-six hours?’

‘What?’ [pause] ‘I’ve no idea.’

‘Rats. I really need to know. ‘Bye!’

This is my life. It genuinely is.

  2. Ah I recognise the sort of random telephone call for bizarre information but in a different context.. it’s the pub quiz mobile phone referral system.. come to think of it it’s a new business opportunity there I think.. premium rate number.. some databases.. weirdos at the other end..
