+Without apparent prompt I was reminded of a practical joke
+that my fellow apprentice Joe used to play often
+that never failed to get a laugh out of me:
+
+Mid-conversation Joe would stop suddenly,
+search in his pockets or tool belt,
+pull out a random object (usually his lineman's pliers),
+and act as if he had received a phone call on it.
+Often the other party had apparently dialed in error,
+and Joe would say, "Hello?... Hello?"
+before deciding they'd hung up.
+Other times he'd step away (only one step)
+and have whole conversations.
+
+Try as I might have,
+I could never pull it off like he could.
