Requests for a number for a God came in just behind asking to be connected to a taxidermy for a beloved pet who died.
And the final brilliant demand was for a number for a locksmith for someone who got locked, wait for it, into their car. Not out of their car, into their car.
Well played, Ireland, well played.
