Punked

I got a prank call from a radio station this morning. I wish I could find out what station for sure.

The guy wanted to know if I would take pictures of his step-daughter and her prize-winning goat. Well, the thing was that the goat actually passed away last night and was stiff, with the tongue hanging out. Could I work with it and make it look like it was still alive?

Sorry, I simply couldn't do that today. (Or any day.)

Well, it says I do children's portraits, and the goat was like a child. It was part of the family and they loved it to death (no pun intended).

I giggled.

"Ma'am, it's not funny. My step-daughter is really tore up about it. She stayed home from school today and everything. She really needs a picture to take to school tomorrow."

I advised the redneck to find a photographer closer to where they were located or to just take a snapshot themselves.

When I asked for the contact information, they hung up.

I tried to find the station after that because I was sure I had just been pranked by a morning show, but I had no idea except to look for redneck country stations.

I did a reverse search on the number and found where it's from. Then, I found the station that is most likely the one. Then, I found the two guys that do that morning show during that time. So, I'm pretty sure I know who it was. When I find out for sure, I think I'll call during on on-air thing and prank them back about how I am suing or something. I was so emotionally distressed after the call that I couldn't work all day. I feel so sorry for the step-daughter who lost her prize-winning goat.

I actually am kind of irritated that they are using my name on air and everything. I should have hung up much sooner, but you know Oklahoma. I'm surrounded by rednecks - many of whom have prize-winning animals that are like family. You never know. I was trying to be nice without being stupid, because people were listening, and I didn't want them to think Sarah Hilton Photography was heartless or brainless.

Anyway, funny - and will probably never, ever happen again.
