A Borderline Legal Call in Behalf of the Police
Ever had a "that was great!" moment? I had one this morning.
Every so often I get what I think of as a scam phone call. Certainly it should be classified as one. Yet it is "legal".
This deep-throated, authoritative voice answers my "Hello" with,

Fun and Games: A Foreign Name and an Old Man

Now I wear 54 Portly. In other words, if you figure the value of a jacket on the
