as far as i know the church has made no effort to do away with anything. i wanted to ask you about the bake sale

I know this is cruel. I know I should tell this person they've texted the wrong number but just simmer down and play along. You know I never disappoint.

um no.... you made a trifle. fr george was hoping you would make again but not put so much sherry in it. he found it too strong and said he got a big headache

Well maybe he should not have eaten the whole trifle.

ha ha, no kidding. so can you make another trifle? but no sherry

From: 19054427423
To: 41660485XX

November 5 2011 04:59 PM


No way, no dice. I have to put a wee bit of sherry in it. It's what gives it that kick. Besides, it's the Queen's own recipe. I would feel awful if I deviated from hundreds of years of tradition.

What is the exact address of the church? I only know it to look at it but I've been meaning to get the full address for some other stuff I'm doing. Complete. With postal code.

i don't know the postal code after by heart but it's 51 King Street. you better start baking.

And here I was hoping it would be some unique address that I could google because I had every intention of making a trifle and bringing it by just to see the reaction...

From: 19054427423

November 5 2011 06:59 PM


I can make a trifle but I don't think I'm the person you're looking for to help with a trifle.

well can you bake and most importantly, are you christian?

Do I have to be Christian to make a good trifle?


From: 41660485XX
To: 19054427423
November 5 2011 07:21 PM

it's for a church bake sale so i think it would help. we're always looking for volunteer bakers.

So a trifle made by an Atheist wouldn't be accepted?


From: 41660485XX
To: 19054427423
November 5 2011 07:23 PM

the priest would hope that you at least have some faith but i guess if you're a good baker but not a christian, beggers can't be choosers

From: 19054427423
To: 41660485XX

November 5 2011 07:24 PM


Before I commit to anything, have the priest call me and we'll chat about what is acceptable and not acceptable baked goods depending on religious affiliation

November 5 2011 07:26 PM

ok, i will tell him. thank you for your help

I never got a phone call. I don't think I've ever been so offended in my entire life. My trifle is awesome and I went ahead and made one anyway. And ate it all by myself.


YOUR LOSS. MY WIN.

This made me laugh so hard I was crying.

C.J. Smith said...

Really? I mean it's funny but not crying funny. Actually, I was thinking. There's a huge disconnect for me on what you guys find funny. That "stand by me" post? I was in hysterics when I was putting it together and giggled about it while I was falling asleep. This post, about me being slighted over trifle, and it's crying funny? The hell?

Barb Carmichael said...

These text exchanges are the best!!! The best thing you ever did was publish your number online. High-larious.

Dan-1 said...

Best wrong number text chat ever!

Bicky said...

That's the awesomeness I look forward to first thing in the morning. You never disappoint.

And that is one good looking trifle.

Squiggles said...

We can have dessert with breakfast right? Because that has me craving trifle like crazy.

Skin Man said...

While I agree CJ this isn't crying funny, I still have a stupid grin on my face - so WIN!

+2 internets for you.

I also thought the Stand By Me stuff was funny, expecially the close up.

C.J. Smith said...

Good. Some Stand By Me recognition is all I'm after.

Al said...

A friedn of mine used to have a home number very similar to a restaurant that offered take ou for pick up.

He would regularly get calls with people asking for burgers or salads, he would simply say "yep, see you in 10 minutes.

I can only imagine what happend to some people who were in a rush and had to wait the 10 minutes after arriving to get the food they were sure they had already ordered. He he

FRED said...

Or have your phone number be 1 digit off for a doctor's office and listening to all the crazy voicemails (and personal information) people would leave?

My wife and I found this entertaining for the first three months and then it got old real quick.

C.J. Smith said...

My old Oshawa # was 905 571 1434
The phone number for Taxi/Taxi is 905 571 1234

Don't ask me how people managed to do it, but they'd dial my number, usually piss-drunk, usually at 2am and yell for a cab. I'd tell them they had the wrong number and they'd ask me to call the cab company for them because they were down to their last quarter (this is before the rise of the celly). I always did because the last thing I need is some drunk asshat in a car because he couldn't call a cab.

Then there were the little sweet ladies who would phone from the hospital only to misdial and get upset that the number was wrong and again, not have another quarter. I would always take their info and call Taxi/Taxi for them.

See, I am nice.

Aitch said...

OMG I'm drooling. That trifle looks epic.

C.J. Smith said...

If you want more trifle porn or see what other kinds of trifle is out there, just google trifle. Your head will explode.

ExGOnowTTC said...

My girlfriend used to have a phone number that was one digit different at the end than that of a lady of the night from Brampton.
Let's just say there were some guys driving to all parts of the GTA looking for a good time.
Oh, and my trifle always tastes better with the Blood of Christ.

TomW said...

CJ, you are not to be trifled with.

Al said...

Clearly no trifling matter here

C.J. Smith said...

Everyday I'm triflin'

Anonymous said...

I think you should have still told them you were Elaine and told them you would bring the trifle. When Elaine shows up for mass the priest gives her the 'stink eye' from the pulpit and his sermon is about the evils of lying....and drinking sherry by yourself.

I was belly laughing too.

C.J. Smith said...

I just couldn't be that cruel
