Sometimes truth is so much stranger than anything one could ever make up. This is one such instance:

Pop singer’s phone recovered

A Secret Service agent was dispatched to recover Jimmy Buffett’s lost cellphone, which reportedly contained numbers for Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter. The singer lost the phone at a Cuban restaurant in Delray Beach, Fla., on May 29, according to the Palm Beach Post. Busboy Jason Martin picked it up.

“We were sitting around smoking weed and strolling down the list on Jimmy’s phone, going ‘Wow!’ ” Martin told the paper. The busboy says he didn’t call any of the celebs, but told police his friends might have placed crank calls to Clinton.

Does anyone want to guess what a weed-smoking busboy from a Cuban restaurant would say in a crank call to Bill Clinton or for that matter to Al Gore?

To Clinton: “Hi, is Monica there? ha, ha, ha, <click>”.

To Gore: “Hi, I’m calling you from Katherine Harris’ office, we just finished the recount and you won. You’re the president. You need to go immediately to Washington DC and claim your office. Ha, ha,…<click>”.

To Clinton and Gore: “Hi, I’m calling for the Hillary 2008 campaign…hee, hee <click>”
