Willy Or Won’t He

Phone rings at 11: 53 a.m. I answer on the second ring.

Me: Hello, this is Will.

Silence, only backgrounding telemarketing bullpen sounds are heard through the phone.

Me (after a pause): Hello. This is Will.

Her: Uh yes, may I speak to a Willy Campbell please?

Silence from me this time.

Her: I’m trying to reach a Willy Campbell?

Me: Really?

Her: Yes sir. Do I have the incorrect number?

Me: Indeed. There is no Willy here.

Her: Thank you.
