"Operator, give me longggggg distance!"

Gary is Helen_B's #1. He works at home. Today, his phone rang:

Gary: "Hello?"

phone: silence.

Gary: "Hello? Is anyone there?"

phone: "pant pant pant....sigh...pant pant". Nothing but weird heavy breathing.

Gary: "Who is this?!"

phone: "Crunch crunch...bump...crunch....growl"

Gary: "Hello, Dixie. Put the phone down, ok?"

phone: "Yip! Yip yip!"

Gary: "Libby? Go give the phone to your mom. Go now!"

phone: "crunch crunch....growl....yip!"


I didn't notice this until I saw Dixie wagging and then chewing on what I thought was her bone. Sigh. Gary is long distance. The last time Dixie bit the redial button, it cost me $3 because Gary couldn't stop laughing. She loves the phone, loves to make a call. But, she never gets Jesus on the line.

You should really look into some one-price-per-month plan. Still no Vonage there, eh?

Re "Operator, give me longggggg distance!"

I remember my mom getting mad because she had called Lynn long distance and the cat answered. Of course no one was home to hang up the phone....

But of course- cats don't hang up the phone. That's what they hire servants (us) for.

That was actually Dad and he Was Pissed. Long Distance Charges and all.

This was the same cat that would open the fridge when we were gone for the wknd and eat his fill. He was a great cat.
