I heard this from my uncle John Herbert. You can't offend anyone with it. A telephone sales person makes a call to an unknown prospect and a very small, very soft, very quiet, and obviously young person answers the phone. Sales person: Hello, may I speak to the man of the house please? Youngster: (whispering) No, he's busy. Sales person: Well then, can I please speak to your mother? Youngster: (in a whisper) She's busy too. Sales person: I see, how about your brother? Can I speak to him? Youngster: (whispering) No. He's busy too. Sales person: (losing patience) Is your sister there? Can I talk to her? Youngster: (in a whisper) She's busy too. Sales person: ( by now quite exasperated) What are all these people doing that keeps them so busy?!!! Youngster: (still whispering) Looking for me. Patrick K.
