Have you ever tried to get your congressperson on the phone? Hell, have you ever tried to get a congressperson on the phone? It can't be done.

Not even by the president-elect…

A Florida congresswoman –- convinced she was being prank-called by a Barack Obama sound-alike –- hung up on the actual president-elect Wednesday.

Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was told by an aide that Obama wanted to speak with her. According to a statement released by her office, the Republican congresswoman cut off the caller, telling him she thought "this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks." She then hung up.

Obama's future White House chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel -– a fellow congressman –- then called her to let her know she'd actually been speaking with the future commander-in-chief. Ros-Lehtinen, convinced the call was another hoax, hung up on him, too.

Obama did eventually manage to get to speak to Ros-Lehtinen, but only after a whole big time-consuming rigmarole of explanation.

And then, finally, he got to ask her if her refrigerator was running.
