mysterious caller: Hello Richard. What’s your favorite scary movie?

Richard: Well, let’s see… That Left Behind movie starring Kirk Cameron was pretty scary. I was afraid the darn thing would never end…

caller: Hi, Richard, it’s T.H. Huxley.

RD: Who?

TH: You know. “Darwin’s Bulldog.”

RD: Oh right.

TH: Yeah I hear you’re trying to steal my nickname, Mr. “Darwin’s Rottweiler” You think you’re pretty clever, don’t you?

RD: I didn’t come up with that name, Thomas. My fans did.

TH: Don’t play coy with me, Dawkins! You know I could sue you for copyright infringement!

RD: But… you’re dead. How could you sue me? How are you even talking to me? You and your copyright have expired long ago…

RD: Hello? Hello!? [Thinking] What a strange phone call…

Do we get to vote?

I keep trying to come up with something for this. But I don’t think there’s any way I can top Bart’s:

“You found a what?”

“A rabbit?”

“In the precambrian?”

“Well, shit…”

(I’m also very fond of “Are you there god? It’s me, Richard” and “I hate my other job.”)

To his under-age daughter,

R.D. — I’m your father, and the Sex-Ratio Theory DOES NOT MEAN you get to DO IT with that guy with the tatoo, and tongue piercing.

I don’t know who he’s on the phone with, but he seems awfully distraught about that camera….I think he’s calling a personal friend to ask what to do about the camera.

RD: “Dude?”
PF: “Yeah, Richie?”
RD: “Dude, this is serious.”
PF: “What? What is it?”
RD: “It’s looking at me.”
PF: “What is?”
RD: “The camera.”
PF: “What?”
RD: “I think it’s watching me.”
PF: “Are you serious?”
RD: “…..”
PF: “……

Richard: Hello?
Sherri Shepard: Hello, Mr. Dawkins, this is Sherri Shepard
Richard: What can I do for you?
Sherri Shepard: I just wanted to ask you if you knew the earth was round or not, because you being a science kinda dude and all probably know more than me
Richard: Well, Sherri, evidence from space travel has allowed us to conclude that our earth is indeed a sphere, not flat like a piece of paper as once was believed
Sherri: Oh, I see, it’s like those Newton guys who said what goes up can’t go sideways or something…I get it now…
Richard: ……
Sherri: Are you there?
Richard: Oh sorry, I was just lost in thought for a moment, a region which seems unfamiliar to you for obvious reasons
Sherri: Man, that was confusin’ on so many different levels I can’t count them all
Richard: …good day to you…I shall see you soon publicly humiliating yourself on national television…oh..wait…
