The U.S. Coast Guard is suspending its search off the California coast for a distressed 29-foot sailboat that was carrying a couple and two children, and explained the incident is "possibly a hoax," Cmdr. Don Montoro said Tuesday.
The mission's cost has reached hundreds of thousands of dollars since Sunday, he said.
FULL STORY
Well, good gravy, why would anyone DO that??
@ banasy:
Bored children do things like that.
We made prank calls like, "hello, is your house out on Highway Seventy-four?" (We knew it was from the phone book.)
"Yes, it is."
"Well, then you'd better move it. One of those big transfer trucks might come along." (Then we'd hang up.)
We never made calls that would cost someone money.
Yes, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" "Is your refrigerator running?" Alas, with caller ID being so prevalent...
@ Joey, Remember the Reader's Digest Phone list I posted about a year ago? Those where too funny!

@ Mary:
Hello. I didn't see that. I'd remember if I had seen it, because I really like things like that.
Yes @ Mary please repost them. Laughter is good for the soul.
