Some of you know I work in a call center and we all have stories to tell. I had one today that literally left me speechless. It went like this:
(me) Thank you for calling...yadayadayada.... how can I help you?
(caller) Hi, I'm an executioner and I would like to report a death.
*long pause*
(me) excuse me?
(caller) I'm the executioner of the estate and I'm calling to let you know he's dead.
(me) Oh, so you're the executor?
(caller) whatever, same thing, anyway....
Now I do have to explain that my contract does have to deal with death benefits which is why I put 2 and 2 together, but the opening really threw me for a loop! After I got over the thought that I was talking to the Grim Reaper, I kind of got a chuckle out of it, in a strange, morbid, sick kind of way. I just hope he isn't referring to himself as the "executioner" to the family of the deceased.
