It happened at the office today about 3 times in a row. I don't have caller id here, and no callback capacity. So I called the number the guy said he was trying to reach but got no answer. A minute later I get a call, and thinking it's either the number I called or the wrong-number caller again, I decide to go into a smartass routine, and answer in a stern voice: "CIA Headquarters, Muir speaking."

Confused female giggle. "Wh-what? Wh-who?"

"Ma'am, this is a goverment line. Are you placing an official call?"

"N-no. Somebody called here from your number."

"I'd disregard it, ma'am."

"But somebody called..."

"Disregard the call, ma'am."
