This went down one afternoon while working for The Crazy Man:
Crazy Man: Please call Sue. I want to see if she can go to a dance. Dial her number and I'll pick up.
Me: Ok
Dialing Sue's phone number. It rings and rings. Her answering machine answers. Since The Crazy Man never picked up (which happens from time to time), I start leaving a message.
Me: Hi Sue. I am calling on behalf of the Crazy Man. He would like to speak to you when get a chance. Please give him a call at
Crazy Man (picking up on the other extension): Hello?
Me: Yes, Crazy Man, Sue isn't there. I am leaving her a message right now.
Crazy Man: When is that dance?
Me: It's on April 14th. That's a Monday. The dance is located in Falls Church.
Crazy Man: What? Falls Church?
Me: Yes, Falls Church.
Crazy Man: And did you say it was the 14th?
Me: Yes, April 14th.
Crazy Man: What band did I want to see again?
Me: It's for ----
Crazy Man: Ok, I will wait for the beep and leave the message.
Me: The beep happened a long time ago. This conversation is her message.
Crazy Man: Oh. Ok. When I get off the phone, we need to call Dr. X and tell them about the medication. And we need to write a check to my neighbor for yardwork he did. Make it for $216. Write in the memo: $216 for materials, $4 for labor.
Me: That doesn't really add up. Do you want me to make the check for $220?
Crazy Man: Yes, that's what I meant. $220. And, we need to call Janie and give her my son's new address.
Me: Ok.
Crazy Man: Why don't you hang up and I will finish leaving a message.
Me: Ok.
Crazy Man: Hi, this is The Crazy Man. Please give me a call at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Yeah, I'm sure she's got his number. The number to looney bin that is.
