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.
