ANSWERING MESSAGES to LEAVE
A couple of other ones that I've used or heard of. They're most effective
when you call the victim's office and leave the message with a secretary.
Word does have a way of getting around..
- "This is Officer Donaldson of the Virginia Highway Patrol regarding
the hit and run accident that he was involved in. Please tell him
to turn himself in, we know who he is."
- "This is Bill from Jones Trucking. We're trying to find <the victim>
to tell him that we, uh, unfortunately, backed one of our trucks
over the top of his car and, uh, pretty much totalled it."
- "This is Mike from Jones Trucking. We're trying to deliver this
shipment of small animals to <the victim>. They're all crowded up
in this cage and they don't have any water or food. I know I'm not
supposed to say things like this, but I can't imagine anyone treating
animals that way."
- "This is Igor from the Soviet Embassy calling about the package
he left us."
- "This is Doctor Smith from St. Elizabeths (a local psychiatric hospital)
Outpatient Clinic. Could you ask <the victim> to call us regarding
the session he missed."

-if you have to ask get out of the way-
Have you ever been stopped by a traffic cop and, while he was
writing a ticket or giving you a warning, you got the feeling that
he would just love to yank you out of the car, right through the
window, and smash your face into the front fender?...
