The Party Call...

A Telephone Conversation:


"Hello, operator..."

'Yes, this is your operator..."

"Would you connect me to the number I dialed into..."

"Yes, pretty soon..."

"What do you mean 'pretty soon?'"

"Well, we have to make the appropriate connections..."

"Are you sure you're my operator?"

"Of course, who would I be.... (in the background a little giggle...Shut up, Dick.")"

"I think we have a connection, madam…"

"Thank you, my gosh, I've never been put through something like this..."

"Like what, madam…?"

"You know what I'm talking about. These long interludes and the static…"

"No, I don’t quite grasp your meaning….I'm only an inferior operator..."

Okay, okay, put me through. "

"It's ringing, madam…

Please don’t call me madam any more…

"I’m sorry, Ms. .."

"Hey, Charlie, sorry about that. I've been trying to get through. But I've been getting all this background noise and all these strange people keep getting on saying that they're the operators. How many operators could I possibly be connected to in one telephone call? "

"Twelve Ms."

"Who's that?"

"It's your operator.

"Are you listening to my call?"

"Oh, I wouldn't be caught dead doing something like that, sir. I would slash my wrists; take poison, gargle with razor blades."

"Okay, that will do. Will you please allow my party to get back on."

"Hey, is that you, Senator?"

"Yeah, Hillary, it's me. What are you and Bill up to these days..."

"Oh just trying to keep out of the press if you know what i mean..."

"Slut!"

"Did you say that , Mr. Senator?"
"No, Hillary, I would never say anything like that. We must have some interference on the line..."

Hello, this is the White House, may I help you.

"Madame, I did not call the White House!"

"Oh, so sorry, I must have picked up the wrong phone, the red one..."

"That's quite alright. Senator, are you there?"

"Yeah, Hillary....So, what do you think. Going to make the run?"

"Senator, what’s that noise? What are they saying in the background?"

"It sounds like "please make the run; please make the run... " it's hard to make out but that's what it sounds like."

"Lot's of static. Yeah, I can't understand it; we are only about a block apart the last time I figured it."

"You're so right; Do you think someone might have been listening..."

"NO, the president swore on a bunch of bibles that he was only listening to foreign calls."

"But how would anyone know?..."

"That's the question isn't it?"

"Well, it was no big deal. I just wanted to see how you are doing..."

"Thanks, Hillary, give my best to Bill..."

"Did you say give your breast some swill?"


"No, never mind, Hillary; we'll chat later."

"Good, thanks, Senator..."
