Man Hangs up on the Pope |
|

|
This is an amusing story from the Guardian |
|
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/30/pope-francis-phone-call-pontiff?CM… |
|
/>and it seems Pope Francis also found it amusing: |
|
An Italian man hung up the phone on Pope Francis twice thinking |
|
he was being pranked, but later apologised to him for his error, |
|
the Vatican newspaper, l�Osservatore Romano, has reported. |
|
The pontiff, who often contacts strangers who write to him or |
|
whose problems he hears about, called Franco Rabuffi on Monday |
|
to comfort him as he was sick. |
|
Rabuffi disconnected the call twice thinking it was a hoax. It |
|
was only when the pope rang back a third time that Rabuffi took |
|
him seriously. �I was speechless but Francis came to my rescue, |
|
saying that what had happened was funny,� he told the newspaper. |
|
Rabuffi, along with his wife, appeared before the pope during |
|
the Vatican�s general audience on Wednesday and apologised for |
|
his mistake. |

|
[/quote]Same here. It seems most of the calls I get now are |
|
like most of the mail I get -- junk. I probably would have |
|
thought it was a prank or maybe a con artist. Sometimes if |
|
I'm sure it's a trash call, I stay on the line just to waste |
|
their time. I make them hang up on me. I asked one scammer, |
|
"Why don't you get an honest job?" He hung up! ROFL |
