Snippet found while looking for something else

Posted on 09:30 by Ashish Chaturvedi

First of all, I do not trust phone callers I do not know. They could claim to be Barack Obama or Peppi tal hobz (the baker), unless you know the caller, he could in fact be Jack the rip off artist. But I had a few minutes to spare and thought I could have a bit of fun.

I wrote this in Feb 2012, in my Malta Sunday Independent column reproduced here also. It was in the run off to the last general election when we were being inundated with calls and partisan mail. I came across the paragraph above while looking for something completely different, but it made me smile and thought that people who followed my scribblings might also like it.
