Submitted by Jared Chimovitz:

Background info:  My office line rings to my cell phone. 

One evening, I get a call and only notice the last name. 

Assuming it was a good friend of mine, I answer: "I'm naked and about to do terrible things to my wife".  

The voice on the other end is much deeper than my friends.   As he clears his throat I realize my mistake. A big mistake.  The voice on the other end asked if he could speak to the owner of the company. While I am my own boss, I was concerned that I may have lost business before I even started.

Luckily, It turned out it was said friends father. I profusely apologized and restarted the conversation in a much more professional manner. He did hire me and continues to do so to this day.

We laugh about it all the time, but I learned a valuable lesson...Always assume that any caller is a business caller.
