I've never understood the metal on metal sound of a sword being drawn from a wood and leather scabbard. Now I know that it's actually the sound of the sword scraping against the knight's spatula.

My favorite foley moment is the jar being opened in a toilet to make the sound of the martian cylinders unscrewing in War of the Worlds. Second place to hitting power pole guy wires with a wrench for Star Wars blaster sounds.

I have freaked people out by crinkling stiff cellophane near the phone and telling them that I'm using my psychic powers to disrupt the phone signal.

In your line of work the latter should be expected.

Oh, wow. That leads me to a great idea. I can get pointless callers off the line by telling them that we have a bad connection, crinkle paper, and tell them to call back. And then not answer the phone so someone else gets stuck with them.

Our cut-rate VOIP sucks so much ass that I can probably get away with that.

I like the cut of your jib.
