If there is one thing that is universal it is the joy in seeing a blinking light on your answering machine. I had two messages this morning, one of them being possibly the most interesting message I have gotten in a long time. I had a message for a man asking me if I was ever going to send him the three GUNS he won from me in an online auction. Yes, you just read correctly. A man supposedly bought 3 guns from me and this man lives in Alabama. He left a number and I tried to call him back, but the line was busy. First I was kind of freaked out, but then I felt bad for the guys who won the auction, which is why I tried to call. About twenty minutes after my attempt a guy from the auction company called me and asked about the auction. I promptly told him I have never owned guns and I don't plan to ever own any guns for as long as I live. He was very nice and wished me well. Even though I am slightly appalled about my supposed gun running, the whole thing will make me a bit more excited next time I answer my phone. [Oh, and as I was writing this I received another call from the winner of the auction. He had a southern accent. 'Bama.]
