What would prank calls have been like if they had telephones in times gone past?
“Whither art thou, BOB? Thine carriage doth pop
And sizzle with flame and buggery beyond th’ bounds of home”
“Grok. Urk urk – FAAAA! Ribble dibble Snuk Snuk Grinkle zoob! Frunk! Frunk Wambaaaa!”
“Four score and twenty years ago there was a man that rather violently intervened in the affairs of a Mr. Plunkett, your mothers’ forebear. His progeny has made his way to our grand state of Massachusetts, carrying with him the same bloody intent. Be warned, Goody Thurston, and take good heed. Prepare the barricades for he stalks town tonight!”
“<translated from Russian> Borya – don’t look now… but there’s a Siberian Tiger outside your window – I can see him from my place.”
“<Hungarian> Nos Veratu visited my bedroom last night. He whispered three things in my ear; that he’d come all the way from Transylvania, your name, and then said something I didn’t quite catch about tomorrow - and left. Have a good night’s sleep, Mariska.”
