"From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee!"
That was all the caller said. I was thanking them profusely and laughing uncontrollably when they hung up.
It was the best crank call ever. Don't know who it was. I've been asking friends, none of which are the type to think a thing is funnier if they deny responsibility rather than fess up when confronted, so I believe them when they say that none of them did it.
It must have been a random crank call.
Now, what are the odds of a LITERATE crank caller dialing and getting a LITERATE mark? It's not like the quoted
The Lord of the Rings, or the latest John Grisham or some other piece of shit. They quoted actual literature. I tried to respond in kind with the rest of the quote: "For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!" but they hung up the phone too fast.
Oh well. They made my day anyway.
By the way, the quote is from
Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
