Calling a random person to see if they'll be a stranger's job reference
This is so great! Hamish & Andy played a prank on somebody by calling a random number and asking the person who picked up to be the reference for a guy who was applying for a job. The two have never met and they know virtually nothing about each other, and yet, the guy on the phone has no problem conjuring up lies about how good of a friend the applicant is. Such a nice guy! I want James to be my friend!
