This episode of PLA Radio will introduce you to the fine art of lying, also known as social engineering.

Many thanks to this webpage which we downloaded the Dateline NBC theme song from. And I didn't really threaten to kill that one phone company lady - I dropped in that bit of audio later. I swear, okay??

The "I'll kill you" is always a tough line that's really funny if it's done right, but can be creepy.  I think RBCP's delivery would imply that it's a ridiculous joke.  I leave it out of my calls, I'm just an ameteur!

The Pizza Pranks stripper call is a great example of it being hilarious... instead of saying 'bye: "I'll kill you!"

Kerpal: "That's it you are going to die now.  -Just kidding!"

Colonel Panic:
In prank calls, non-sequiturs like that are the best. Throwing in an "I'll kill you" with an inflection of anything other than anger just sounds funny.

BTW, I really liked Mark Knopfler's catchphrases, "I'll carve my initials in him" and "please try to pay attention!"

I have a confession about the "I'll kill you" line...I didn't really say that to her.  I started to, but I decided against it before I got the words out.  I was calling that company direct from my phone line and it was a toll-free number.  It just seemed like a bad idea to be making death threats to her.  So after she hung up, I quickly did that line and then hung up myself.  Then I edited it to appear in the conversation.

I'm not normally a fan of constructing fake prank calls.  And the guilt has just been eating me alive lately, especially now that this conversation has been brought up.  Please forgive me!
