I've had a long-standing joke with some of my friends about the importance of having someone ready to do the fake-out "emergency" call for those times when you find yourself on the date from hell and need a way out.
It just never occurred to me that someone had already figured out how to make a buck off it. But apparently, the folks at www.mobilealibi.com have done just that. With their services, you can schedule calls--complete with fake names to show up in your caller ID and a fake voice at the other end--that can help you get out of any and all awkward or boring situations.
God bless that capitalist spirit of innovation.

OMG - I don't know what to do first: call myself [again], send this to yet another friend, or buy some more credits. thanks for the heads up.
That is great stuff. Whatever happened to, "Look, I talk straight, this just isn't working. Let's save each other the two hours of awkwardness that we have still to go and retire to our respective comfort zones. Deal?"
I used the mobilealibi.com service to get out of a useless meeting with colleagues because my "boss" was calling -- worked like a charm as everybody could see my boss was actually calling me!
