Hi Phil!

Ten years later, I took a leaf out of your book.

Do you remember the World Tomorrow Program? They had a big call centre that
took orders for all of Garner Ted's books and tapes, etc. They had a toll
free number, and I had 3-way calling so I couldn't resist the possibility.

I called once, then went to three way and quickly had the two calls
conferenced at the right timing.

So the second guy answered. Guy number one sounded a little confused because
he only heard the second guy say World 
Tomorrow Program Joe speaking, or whatever. They both started trying to
figure out why each other was puzzled, and suddenly guy 1 says "Hey look,
you're right behind me. We're both here at the same place. How could anyone
do that?" "Guy 2, I don't know, they must know something we don't." I hung
up both calls and can still laugh about it.

Every now and then, I get one of those phone scan calls. Ya know, you a
little pause while their auto dialler connects the call is a dead give-away.
They always say they're from a computer department and they've called to fix
a problem with my windows computer. Despite my accent, I just insist the
only windows I know anything about are those things that go up and down that
keep the water from getting in on a bad day. After a minute or so like that,
they hang up on me. Ah that is success!
