The phone rang through here at the office so I picked it up:
Her: May I speak to John?
Me: Who may I say is calling?
Her: Donna with Opinion Marketing Research.
Me: Please hold.
Me: John, do you want to talk to Donna with Opinion Marketing Research?
John: No. Tell her that if she wants my opinion on an issue, she should call my wife [delivered in joking tone].
Me: Donna? I'm sorry, but John says that if you'd like his opinion, you need to call his wife.
Her: Oh. [silence for a second]. Does his wife make the decisions regarding the company's telecommunications needs?
Me: Most probably. Have a nice day. [hangs up].
Was that as funny to you as it was to me? Or do I need to get out more?
