From Willie's biography.
He (Willie) says that his first prank was "almost his last"...Young Willie called a "mean, stingy, hateful" neighbor, told her he was with the phone compoany, and asked how much telephone cord she had coming out of her wall (this was in the days of permanently-attached phone cords)..She replied "It looks like about 6 feet".. Willie said "Well, you do have a problem..everybody's supposed to have 9 feet of cord...I just called your neighbor and she says she has 12 feet, so she must've pulled 3 feet of your cord over into her house."
"She was furious that her neighbor had stolen her cord, "Willie said.....She asked what the phone company would do about it and Willie replied, "To save a service call, you can help me and we can do it right now"...He then proceeded to tell her to drag a chair up to and facing the wall, wrap the cord around her wrist, put her feet against the wall, count to three, and pull as hard as she could...."The line went dead...It scared me to death"! The lady had pulled the cord completely out of the wall. "One of my cousins told on me and I spent the rest of the summer mowing yards to pay for the real phone company to come out and fix it". Mr. Richardson says that was the only "mean" prank he's ever pulled on anyone.
Willie Richardson is one of the funniest and seems to be one of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting (just talked on the phone but you can tell). Here is a link to his site, he has lots of stuff.
