Liberal Burblings

Yesterday I was walking along the street and a rather dodgy looking man walked up to some teenagers and, holding out his mobile phone, said, in tones of some desperation, “Lasses and lad, could you phone this number please?” One of the teenagers duly rang the number he gave them.

My first thought was that it would be insane for anyone to respond to the man’s request because he would then have your number on his phone and could phone you whenever he likes.

But quite frankly, I was baffled by the incident. What bona fide reason would the man have for asking someone to phone his mobile? It is utterly perplexing. Any ideas from my reader?
