In my role as Mrs. Cubmaster, I answer phone calls from parents interested in signing their kids up for Cub Scouts. 
I've taken calls from parents of three-year-olds who were disappointed to learn that they had to wait until their boys reached first grade before they could join. (To my credit, I did not say "Cub Scouts don't wear Pull-Ups" to that caller.)
This year, our overachieving den leaders plastered our town with signs advertising our troop. All of those signs had my home phone number on them. After a few days, I started to notice a trend.
People who call about Cub Scouts around lunchtime or after 4 PM are parents or grandparents with a genuine interest in learning about our Cub-Scout Pack. Those are calls I'm happy to take--and our investment in more (and larger) signs this year paid off in 12 new Scouts in our Pack!
And then there are those other calls: the ones that take place, coincidentally, at the same time as the kids in town are sitting on school buses on their way to school. Just as we set a record for signs this year, we also set a record for Cub-Scout-related prank calls. Most of them are rather unrefined as prank calls go. The kids don't quite know what to say when I answer the phone. And with few exceptions, they're not smart enough to know how to hide their caller-ID information, so I know exactly who's calling. Genius.
