"Am I speaking to the man of the house??"

Just got a call from a number just registered on caller ID as "00" and an Indian voiced man said "Am I speaking to the man of the house??"

I told him to hold on, I'll just get the dog... He normally protects the house so he must be the man...

For some reason, he hung up! :D

    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    If it was an Indian chap selling the Microsoft Security scam, he probably would have told poochie to "F**k off.":D
