I received a phone call today for pond plants. The reason its funny is her last name is Fish. I almost laughed while she was on the phone, as it struck me so funny that Fishmomma (me) was talking to Mrs Fish. Have you received any calls that made you just about lose your professional voice?

I wouldn't say I have received any calls that made me forget to be "professional". However, with the odd name thing, something did happen nearly 15 years ago.
I was in hospital being t9old by a specialist that I urgently needed an emergency c-section. As I was suffering an abrupted placenta & high blood pressure, my mind wasn't right. The specialist introduced himself... Dr. Elvis Seman... I responded with "what... er... "?
I felt pretty silly after.

LOL that is so funny. I can see why you wanted to laugh. I don't think I have ever received a phone call, but in person yes. Sometimes you just can't help it when you see a guy dressed in a dress with heels and trying to act like a woman, but it is VERY clear it is a man! lol
I had to go tell the guy that he could not go into the ladies fitting room to try on a dress, he had to go to the mens room :) I just couldn't help buy laugh after the guy left, as it was the most funniest thing I have ever witnessed. :)
Have a great day!

lol That made my day. I haven't actually had any funny calls like that. But my partner got a call from my cell last night by accident. My phone had somehow dialed her number without me knowing it until I heard the end of her voice mail run across my phone. Later she checked said voicemail to delete it and you could hear the whole conversation before I had finally ended my phone call.

My name sounds like a spanish name and I have gotten several calls from someone (I think some telemarker) who jabbers away at me in spanish. I have told them I don't speak spanish and they seem to understand what I say, but they still keep calling.

Well where my parents live the number is similar to Boots and so we used to get calls about people's perscriptions which just became normal after a while. However one day I got the most random call from a very posh-sounding man inquiring if the begales were hunting today? Unfortunately his accent sounded so fake I burst out laghing and put the phone down...
