Ever since the
telephone was invented, prank phone calls have been a part and
parcel of live. McCarthy had always enjoyed a good prank call, but
since the discovery of Skype the world became a much more accessible
place. Skype allows you to call toll free numbers in America and
free phone numbers in Britain for free. This means that, with no
cost to yourself, you can call up less than intelligent American
companies and make ridiculous requests of them, and more often than
not they will fall for it. Here are a collection of prank calls that
