Prank phone call? yea, I wish.

Hyland, bow down to my "best of" reporting phone calls. Yes, this conversation is true. I know, it's sad.

Me: Hi, is this Mr. Smith?
John Smith: Yes it is.
Me: This is Nate Karlin with the Mirror. In case you didn't remember, I'm writing a profile story about you.
JS: No, I actually didn't know that.
Me: (awkward laugh)
Me: moment of silence
Me: Well I was wondering if I could set up another interview with you on Monday or Tuesday to go over some facts and get a little more information.
JS: Well, I am available both days.
Me: When's a good time?
As he answers, I realize he doesn't have the thick Texas drawl that my John Smith has.
Me: Well actually I think I have the wrong John Smith.
JS: I think you do, too.

This happens to the best of us, right? :-/
