• Harry was madly in love with Betty, but couldn’t find enough courage to raise the question face to face. Finally he decided to ask her on the telephone. “Darling!” he blurted out, “will you marry me?” – “Of course, I will, you silly boy,” she replied, “who is it speaking?”

• No, I’m sorry, I can’t put you through to Mrs Porter. I can’t connect you to anyone ... No, I’m afraid you can’t hold on ... No, she won’t call you back. She can’t ring you back and nobody is going to return your call ... And no, I can’t transfer you to another line ... Why not? Because Mrs Porter doesn’t work here. In fact, nobody works here ...
