We even have a form that we have to fill out in case of a bomb threat.

HAHAHA u too!? We have a form for any kind of threat recieved via phone

Again, those forms are made for a reason, and they can help a great deal when you're freaking out because you have some idiot on the other end of the line who's making a bomb threat.

Yes, you're probably right. "What kind of bomb is it? Where is it located? What is your nationality? Are you affiliated with a terrorist organization? How much damage will your bomb do? When will it go off?"

Oh it's so nice. I work at a plastics manufacturing company, not a high tech area by any means. Let's just get the people out of the building and then we'd be happy to let you blow it up!
 
It's funny b/c it's true to life, although if you've never been a cubicle commando, you probably might not get it.
But even then...Jennifer Anniston is in it, so....

Listen for their tone of voice - are they male or female? Do they have an accent? (paying homage to your ignorance) Do they make any references to any particular political or religious group?
What kind of background noise is there? Can you hear anything being broadcast or called out?

Yadda yadda yadda. The more information you can get, the better. It's not just a matter of "please tell me where the bomb is, sir."

I've always wondered what a bomber would do if someone just hung up on them.

Hell, I heard my dad once talking to one of his subordinates on the phone and all I could think of was "My dad is Bill Lumberg"🙁

So I made him sit down and watch the movie, and he was almost too embarrassed to finish the movie b/c everytime Lumberg would do something my dad does, I'd point and laugh at him 🙂

There are just so many things you can do with them.

Disgruntled employee approach:
"Sir, we don't take bomb threats seriously here. Period. End of statement. So if you're going to blow us up, blow us up already so we can get our insurance and close this business. You're still not getting any money."

Or the 17-year old blonde cheerleader approach:
"Wow, like, a real bomb? Gee, how would you get something like that in here? I can't even smuggle my makeup past the receptionist."

Or perhaps the old guy:
"Sonny, when I was your age, we had to walk 50 miles to work uphill both ways. We worked for every penny we got. Nowadays people feel like the have to throw bombs around and make all these threats for their money, or maybe use this whole Internet thing, I tell you, it's from the devil. And the democrats are stupid, are you one of them? I bet you don't even support our president. It's people like you that are responsible for inflation. You just don't get the picture, do ya."

Then you can take the foreign language approach:
"Eh? No hablo ingles, puede hablar en espa&ntilde;ol, por favor?"

Or:
"I'm sorry, you've got the wrong number." <click>

Or:
"Jim? Is that you? Darned good to hear from you, how have you been all this time?"
 
I may have missed but i dont think anyone has said this quote:

"You know, the nazis made the jews wear peices of flair"

Hahaha i love that line.
 
I love it when the guy is listening to Rap in his car, in traffic, and when he sees the black guy, he turns down the music. Hahhaha, I've occasionally done the same!~ THUG LIFE, OUTLAWWW, WESYDE!!!
 
I watched it "pre-cubicle" and thought it moved kinda slow. I was tired... fell asleep.

Watched it "post-cubicle" and bought the DVD as soon as I could find it on the shelf.
 
Best part was when that guy peter worked with tried to kill himself and his wife walks in on him, so he backs the car outta the driveway and immediately gets creamed by the pick up truck.

I almost choked on my sandwich when I saw that scene.
~wnied~
 
"So, we hear you been missing alot of work!"

"Well, I wouldnt say i've been missing it!"

another one: "uh-oh...looks like someones got a case of the Mondays!" LOL

One of the best scenes has to be when they take start bashing the fax machine with baseball bats in the open field. They had the scene in slow motion which made it so much better, then as they walk away, one guy turns back towards the machine and the other 2 have to drag him away

Hahaha thats the best. You should get him a t-shirt that says "I am Bill Lumberg" and he should wear it on casual Fridays. 🙂
