Now this is a bit off the topic of the thread, but...
I worked as a CSR/estimator for several years and would get endless phonecalls from various salespeople/solicitors always asking "May I speak to the person who is in charge of such & such"
Now on days when I was feeling "nice" and didn't just hang up on them, I would play the Larry Conrad game. Larry would end up being the guy who handles our copy supplies, our telephone account, the person to make business decisions about yellow pages advertising, etc. But the funny thing is, Larry just never seemed to be in! Even when the same telemarketers would keep calling back asking for Larry, I had to inform them that sadly he was out ill, on vacation, whatever. It just amused me after a while to have people asking for a person that didn't even exist.
I can't play the Larry Conrad game at this job because the shop owner's name is ? you guessed it ? Larry.
Mind you, this was in the days before I had an internet connection at work. Had to entertain ourselves somehow.
