True Story From The Past
I got a call way back when, landlines. Some kind of insurance. I said,
"Sure WAIT!! My wife was just talking about this the other day, but she's busy for a minute or two, she'd REALLY like to talk to you about this, will you wait?"
"SURE!!!"
So I stretched that out about as far as I figured I dared, and
"Sorry, she's just about coming back in you still there?"
"You bet"
And I stretched it out again, and.........
"Man I'm sorry, she will be here in a second"
"Well,............OK" (not very enthused)
So I stretch it out again a bit, and
"You still with me?"
"Uh, .................yeh..........................."
"Oh, MAN", I said. "I don't know what is WRONG with me, today!! I'VE NEVER HAD A WIFE AND I'M NOT MARRIED!!!! GOO-BYE!!!!" AND HUNG UP THE PHONE.
