what was he talking about? Today at work, someone called me and I was the wrong number. Our exchange was so random though, what was the story? →[More:]

Today at work, someone called and said, before I could even say, "Hi, this is sweetkid, from x company"....

"I can't wait anymore! Where is Liza? Isn't she a newlywed?" Bewildered, I told him I thought he had the wrong number and he apologized and hung up. For the rest of the day, though, my coworkers and I were trying to piece those words together into a story. The man was pretty frantic and upset. What the heck was going on? If anyone can make a plausible back story out of those sentences, I'll be grateful. To review, it's:
"I can't wait anymore! Where is Liza? Isn't she a newlywed?" Also, he definitely thought he was calling a business, it wasn't a personal call. WTF?

Where do you live? Did he have an accent?

It wasn't this guy, was it?

Wow, it sounds like you got called by a spam e-mail.

He was calling creepy escort service specializing in newlywed/pregnant/young girl/daughter agents.

1. He's a photographer hired to take photos of a bunch of newlyweds, for whatever reason, and she's late showing up to the studio.

2. Liza is supposed to be auditioning for this show.

3. He's a freelance sperm donor.

It was New York, and he did have an accent.

Do you have Prince Albert in the can?

Is it possible that he said "I can't wait anymore! Where is Liza? Isn't she at New Lin's yet?"

(it's a restaurant in Brooklyn)

Wow, nice theory ico!

Weird call for sure sweetkid. How have you been? It seems like ages since I've seen your username on a page!

Of course, I could just click on your username. But, I thought I'd ask too!

yeah, thanks for the theory ico! I think it endeared me to my new coworkers because they all have a bunch of inside jokes, and now there's a new one with me..."I can't wait any more!"

I'm good, richat, thanks for asking! I've been busy with work and spending lots of time away from the computer when at home, but I am pretty good. Hope you are good as well.
