ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (WCBS) — A New Jersey dad is getting birthday wishes from all over the world, thanks to a prank by his two sons.
Chris Ferry’s birthday is coming up on Saturday. The Linwood, N.J. man is already receiving well wishes, but the messages are coming from strange numbers.
“Saying ‘Nick? Nick who? You don’t know me, how do you it’s my birthday?’ [They] saw it on a billboard,” Ferry said.
His face and phone number are listed on a giant billboard as you drive the Black Horse Pike into Atlantic City toward the casinos. It reads “Wish my dad Happy Birthday. Love, your sons.”
“I just wanted to wish him an extra special birthday,” said his son Mike Ferry.
“I’m getting things like, ‘My father’s birthday was March 16. He passed away. I’m contacting you in memory of him,” Chris Ferry said.
