Playing with Telemarketer Minids
A conversation I had a few years ago that I recently remembered and want to keep.
Phone rings at Joe's parents place. I answer.
"Dadek Residence."
"Hello, may I speak to Mrs. Dadek please?"
<pause>
"Which one? There are three."
"Uh. Mrs. Joseph Dadek"
"Well, that narrrowed it down to two. Wanna try again?"
"Uh. Mrs. Thelma Dadek."
"Ah. You want Grandma. May I ask who's calling?"
Etc, etc
It just amused the hell out of me to be in a house where I could participate in the Dr. Jones scene from The Last Crusade. "Mrs. Dadek?" Three heads turn. "Yes?"
