“Congratulations, you’re the 10th caller!”

7 May

Now, give us money so we can give you a prize.

Yep, that’s pretty much what Andrew heard after actually being “Caller Number 10” on a local radio station and answering the question correctly.

First of all, how many people can actually say they’ve been “Caller Number 10?”  It’s frustratingly hard to even get through on those contest lines let alone be the 10th one through!  (I would redial until I was almost asleep during my New Kids on the Block crazed days.  What my life could have been if only I won those backstage passes!)

So he gets through, hears that he’s the caller, answers the trivia question about Stone Mountain and then is told he needs to pay 130 bucks in order to get a three night free stay somewhere in Florida, plus we would still have to pay for our plane tickets!  HA!

He told them no and they couldn’t believe he was rejecting them.  I told him I’ll get him a t-shirt that says, “I was the 10th caller and all I got was this stupid t-shirt.  (From my wife.)”  Sure it’s not original, but it still made us laugh.
