Telemarketer George

One night, telephone solicitors kept interrupting our supper. When the phone rang yet again, my father answered it. By his remarks, we assumed it was his friend, George, a notorious practical joker. Dad kept saying things like, "Cut it out, George. This is very funny, but I know it’s you. C’mon, stop it or I’ll hang up. I’ll get you for this."

When Dad hung up, my mom asked, "Was that George?"

"No,"my father replied. "It was a salesman, but I don’t think he’ll call back."
