My Stepdad: ::MY NAME IN ALL CAPITALS::
SteelGreyW: GAH!
My Stepdad: HOW ARE YOU?
My Stepdad: i'VE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YOU
SteelGreyW: I am going DEAF.
My Stepdad: JOIN THE CLUB
SteelGreyW: It would HELP if you would not TYPE in all CAPITALS.

And so then he continued on as if nothing weird had happened.

Of course, the message was that someone from somewhere I've never heard of had called, and I was supposed to call back... My stepdad is a card.
