Late one Saturday evening, I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. In
a sleepy grumpy voice I said hello. The party on the other end of the
line paused for a moment before rushing breathlessly into a lengthy
speech.
"Mom, this is Susan and I'm sorry I woke you up, but I had to call because
I'm going to be a little late getting home. See, Dad's car has a flat but
it's not my fault. Honest! I don't know what happened. The tire just went
flat while we were inside the theater. Please don't be mad, okay?"
Since I don't have any daughters, I knew the person had misdialed.
"I'm sorry dear," I replied, "but you've reached the wrong number. I don't
have a daughter named Susan."
"Gosh, Mom, "came the young woman's voice, "I didn't think you'd be this
mad."

over the tower radio:
Helicopter Pilot: "Roger, I'm holding at 3000 over >such-and-such<
beacon".
Second voice: "NO! You can't be doing that! I'm holding at 3000 over that
beacon!"
(brief pause, then first voice again): "You idiot, you're my co-pilot."
