Called the U.S. Secret Service the other day while looking into a bit of international con artistry. I called the Philadelphia office and was directed to the voicemail of one their agent spokesman. I was asked to leave my name and phone number and then told "I will get back to you at my earliest convenience."

I couldn't tell if he was being intentionally or unintentionally funny. Given that Secret Service agents aren't known for their sense of humor, I'm guessing the latter.

Still haven't heard from him. But I certainly appreciate his honesty.
