this happened a few years ago. It's about my dad and something my dad would have laughed hard at.
phone rings I pick up
me: Hello
TeleMarketer: Hello is Mr ThrashandBurn's Dad available?
Me: ahhhh no he isn't
TM: do you know a better way to reach him?
with out hesitation
ME: Not unless you got a shovel.
I could hear him holding back his laugh wile trying to give his condolences.
I passed my co workers a note that said that they missed a call from "Mr. Baer," and attached the callback number as the direct line to the local zoo.
Played out like this - "Your local zoo, how can I help you?"
"yes, hello, I'd like to speak with Mr Baer..... facepalm I think I have the wrong number..."
Me: Oh look, honey! There's a stray cat. Hello Mr. Cat!
Cat: (ignores)
GF: Wow that was rude. Guess he's used to getting... catcalled.
Today I received a call from so weird ass number. "Hello Mr. Humblestudmuffin, we would like to ask you to participate in a brief survey about the current general election."
"Oh, I only wear boxers. Have a good night!"

Dad (it appears the friend's son answered): Hello, this is mister Wallbanger, is Mr Wall there?
Child on phone (probably): Uh, no?
Dad: Is Mrs Wall there?
Kid: No?
Dad: Are there any Walls there?
Kid: No??
Dad: Then what's holding up your house?
Me: Hello Mr T. How do you feel this morning
Mr T: With my hands...
