My friend McCarron once worked as a repo man for a placed that rents furniture in Flint. As you may know, these places are basically glorified pawn shops, and pawn shops are basically ghetto banks. It’s a fascinating story that is much too short. Read it here.

One time, a co-worker caught a customer being clever. The number rang and then dumped to the “We’re sorry, but the number you’re trying to reach…” message when you dial a disconnected number. Just as my colleague was about to hang up, he heard the beep. Clever Customer had somehow gotten the “Disconnected” message as his voicemail greeting.
