Definition of a nano second – time from when the traffic lights turn green, and the car behind blasts it’s horn.)
One mans way of dealing with nuisance phone calls
The phone
rings
A distant
female voice with a slight echo on the line
"Hello,
Sir, I'm just calling about your recent car accident; "
"Ah
yes, my car accident" I said pulling up a comfortable chair. “I am so glad
you've called about that terrible business"
There was
a pause at the end of the line and then the woman said "Can you give me
the details "?
"But
you must know the details" I said "You called me after all"
There was
another pause
"Just
tell me in your own words" she said
"Well,
I said, "I was in my car with six other people and the dog, when we were
in collision with a police van full of policemen.
I broke
my arm my wife broke her leg and four policeman were injured. Is it something
you think you can sort out for me"?
There was
a longer pause while the woman took this all in
"six passengers in your car" she said finally
"And
the dog" I said, "she bruised her nose poor thing"
The woman
did not seem bothered about the dog
"What
sort of car was it" she asked
"A
mini"
"A
mini "? she exclaimed !
"Yes a Mini Cooper" I said, "Oh, and I was drunk"
There was
some sort of hushed conferring going on now at the end of the phone, and the
sound of a second voice
Then the
woman said "Sorry I have just got to hand you over to someone more
senior"
An older
more officious sounding woman came on the line.
"So
sir, you say that you were in the mini car with six passengers and you were
drunk and you hit a police van"
"Yes,
and on drugs" I said, "I was on drugs too"
Now there
was a sound of raised gabbling voices from the other end of the line.
Then the
older woman said "Thank you for wasting our time."
"No" I said "Thank you for wasting mine, feel free to call again.
I enjoyed
that" --
