Among the most famous and earliest recorded prank calls are the Tube Bar prank calls tapes, which centered on Louis "Red" Deutsch. Comedian Jerry Lewis was an incorrigible phone prankster, and recordings of his hijinks, dating from the s and possibly earlier, still circulate to this day. Castro began swearing at the pranksters live on air after they revealed themselves. British physicist R. Jones recorded two early examples of prank calls in his memoir Most Secret War. The first was by Carl Bosch, a physicist and refugee from Nazi Germany, who in about persuaded a newspaper journalist that he could see his actions through the telephone rather than, as was the case, from the window of his laboratory through the window of the journalist's flat. The second was by Jones himself who, in about the same year at Oxford University, pretending to be a telephone engineer, convinced a chemistry research student that there was a fault with his telephone.
