Yet Another David Ghent Story

DB: Hello?
Some Guy: Hi, have you gotten ahold of David Ghent yet?
DB: What makes you think I know where he is?
SG: He gave us this number as a place to reach him. Last time I called here, you said he didn't live here any more.
DB: When, exactly, did he give you this phone number?
SG: I can find that out, but have you gotten in touch with him?
DB: Right. But where did you get, from our last chat, that I somehow would be finding him?
SG: You indicated he previously lived there.
DB: I've never met the fucking guy, what are you talking about?
SG: Oh, so now you're saying he's never lived there?
DB: He's never lived here with me.
SG: Then why did you say he had, when we talked last time?
DB: I said no such thing. I told you that I've had this telephone number for over two years, and I've never heard of the guy, but that, judging by the number of "deadbeat debtor" calls I get that are looking for him, the guy used to live at this telephone number.
SG: So you haven't heard of him.
DB: Are you even listening to me? I've heard of the guy. He's a fucking deadbeat, who appears to owe money to half the population of the State of New York, but he doesn't live here now, and I've never met him, and you better hope that you find him before I do, because I'm going to pound the shit out of him if I find him before he gets everyone paid off, simply by virtue of having to field all his calls.
SG: Ah, I see.
DB: Now when did you say he gave you this telephone number?
SG: (*clickety-click*) Back in 2000.
DB: OK, now you may want to consider, just consider that that was four years ago, and that's no longer valid, as I told you last time you called.
SG: OK.
DB: And if you do manage to find the guy, I suggest suing the hell out of him, right quick, so you can get in line behind the long list of other creditors who are, apparently, already seeking judgements against him, given the number of lawyers I've talked to over the last three months.
SG: I see.
DB: You can go away now.
SG: Thank you.

"You can go away now."

Ah, I should use that line more often. :-)

Heh yes, and very short effective line.

Funny thing Derek-
When I lived at 557, some whack job always called me looking for some dude who didn't pay his bills, must be the environment.

Most recently is the person going through a crisis that babbles incoherently on my answering maching about how come Mallie ??? never calls her back and to please do so before she hangs herself. Mallie doesnt call back because Mallie doesnt live with me. I dont give a shit if she hangs herself, do me the favor and get it over with
