They probably get no info, they just call each Person in the Directory...

In fact some Joker called my about my Windows, when I don't have Windows at home… confronted with that Information he just disconnected.

Still living in that tent sir?


I got a tax evasion phone call.
He said the cops were coming unless I paid.
Apparently I owed taxes from the last 5 years.
I told him I would beat that in court because I just spent the last 8 years in prison.
He hung up. Hasn't called back either. 😊

I run, about 5km a day, but only in "good" weather and lately, much to my body's relief, the weather hasn't been very good....for running.

You're too soft for an igloo it would kill you first night you spent in it.....hmmmm.

No, don't try that one!!! 😉

They just know you. They all know you. They tell your story to their children as a bedtime story. They talk about you around the campfire. Your story is a Bollywood favorite. They all want to talk to you. They want to name their children after you.

You are legend.
