DIALING PROBLEM
One of our California dealers (figures) reported this problem
recently. One of his customers called rather frantic asking that
he personally come over right away. Since this was a big account,
the owner of the company hurried over to see what was wrong. The
customer (who shall remain nameless) said, "Check out my
phone right away and see if it's dialing correctly!" The
dealer made several phone calls and everything checked OK. "What
seems to be the problem?" the dealer asked.
"Well, I called home this morning and the maid answered."
"Maria?" "Si," she answered. "Oh Senor,
I am so glad you called. Something terrible is going on."
"What is it," he asked. Maria said, "Your wife
and your best friend are upstairs in bed!" Silence followed.
The customer said, "Go get my gun and shoot them both!"
"Do it now! he said" Maria replied, her voice shaking,
"Si, I will do it." Soon there was the sound of two
shots being fired. Then Maria came back to the phone. "Senor?"
she said. "I did like you said" she answered. "Good,"
he said. "What did you do with the gun," he asked? "I
threw it in the pool," she answered. "What, we don't
have a pool,,,, say is this 442.....?"
Potential Voice Mail Problem
Driving into work that morning, a busy executive thought about the conversation he had had with his wife over breakfast. She had complained that he had been neglecting her, not giving her enough time or attention. Thinking that she was right, he called her office but was transferred to her voice mail. He left a message saying that he thought that she had a valid complaint, ending the conversation with: "I'll tell you what. Let's get away for a romantic weekend this weekend. I love you very much and want you to be as happy with me as I am with you." As he hung up the phone, he saw a co-worker who had been standing there for some time, glaring at him in discust. "Excuse me," she said with contempt, "but your wife is holding on line two."
