Today I made a call to a utility company. My business required that I waited long periods while I could hear a keyboard clicking on the other end of the line.
I finally lit up a ciggie, inhaled gratefully. Almost immediately, the guy on the other end of the line, gave a little cough!
“Ohh No,” I said to him, “don’t tell me that my smoke here is bothering you there!”
He was silent for a second, and then he started chuckling. Then we were both laughing uncontrollably.
No doubt the C.A.V.E. people (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) will soon have such a law (no smoking while on the telephone), in front of legislators all over the world!
BTW, my utility problem did NOT get resolved...
