It Took A Really Long Time For Them To Win

(I’m in my computer room when I hear our landline ring, then my mum talking. After hanging up she tells me what the call was.)

Scammer: “Hello, I’m ringing to talk to you about a competition that you and your husband entered to win a holiday to Bali.”

Mum: “Really? That would be difficult for my husband to do.”

Scammer: “Really, ma’am? Why is that?”

Mum: “Well, my husband has been dead for 18 years, so you see that problem.”

Scammer: “Oh, really? Um, well, have a good night. Sorry to have taken your time. Bye.”
