We came home one evening to find a message on our answering machine. We just have the generic message that was on the machine when we got it. Some girl (wrong number) left a message.
"This message is for Homer from (her name). I'm getting(...named off some groceries). If you need anything else let me know before I get off work."
I got the number from caller ID and back traced it to Piggly Wiggly in the next town up the valley. So I called her back at the store. The manager(?) answered.

"Uh, yes, I'd like to speak with (her name)."
"One moment, can I tell her who is calling?"
"Oh, she has no idea who I am."
"Ok, she will be right here."
She comes to the phone and picks it up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this (her name)?"
"Yes it is."
"You called earlier about an order for someone named Homer?"
"Yes, I did."
"Well, Homer is our dog, and we don't allow him to place orders over the phone anymore."
She burst out laughing.
"You may want to call the number you were trying to reach and give the message to that 'Homer'."
We talked for a bit about how funny it all was then hung up.
