I got the call yesterday -- restricted number -- but answered anyway b/c my horse's vet for some reason blocks his callback number and you just never know if something unfortunate has happened at the barn.

Inttroduced himself as (mumble) Walsh. I didn't catch his first name, but my vet's last name is Walsh, so I thought that's who was calling.

He: I saw your website, loved the demos, blah blah blah. My ad agency in New York is developing a new product for (heh heh) an allergy medication. Was I somewhere I could talk?
Me: I'm not in my studio, but can take your information and --
He: I'm looking for -- and I know this sounds funny -- someone who can sneeze really loud and big. Can you --
Me: You know, I think my agent is really the one you need to talk to. Here's the number.
He: Uh, thanks. *hangs up*.

Had I been in possession of a quicker wit, and not in a crowded restaurant, should I have treated the situation any differently? After he hung up, I thought to myself, "What would Todd say?"

I think you should have said "We're onto you, perv! Stop wasting the valuable time of voice professionals!"

Good point. Might need to continue onto a totebag or something.

The possible confusion between your horse vet and this guy reminds me of the rhetorical question my dad would occasionally ask:
"How come there are more horses' asses than there are horses?"

Todd owes me one Digidesign/Protools keyboard. Good think I wasn't facing my Mackie at the time.

("Quick and dirty" indeed. Double ewwwww.)

Yea, another victim just sent me a Facebook message with the same lament. Unfortunately she fell for it. UGH!

And Todd, thank you for rising to the occasion!

In a good way, of course.
