“But the ECSO say they never ask residents for money.”
That’s strange….every time they hand me one of those little pieces of paper I end up having to give money.
Suppose I should slow down.
I wonder what people could do with their lives if they only put that much thought into being a good person.
sounds a lot like the IRS phone scam. I got a few of those – it was fun messing with them the first few times, but it gets boring after a while. This one might be more fun. I think I’ll invite them over to come arrest me, maybe offer to meet them a the ECSO. Better yet, meet them at the Statue of Liberty.
