Today...in the midst of a busy afternoon and while I was juggling several things at once, my mobile phone rang. I took a glance and it was from an anonymous caller. Ignored once, ignored twice....I eventually decided to pick up on the third time.
"Speaking"
"Can I talk to you about that proposal?"
"Sure, anything wrong with it?"
"No, but we were in the middle of discussing that earlier."
"Oh ya. I did ask you to call back later."
"Anyway, is it a good time to continue now?"
"Yup. Fire away."
"You were saying you wish to retire in 20 years' time, right?"
"Wait a minute...I did say that, but I didn't say that to you, I think. Wait...are you who I think you are?"
"I was the one who called you about an insurance proposal this morning."
"Oh...sorry, I think you've got the wrong number and you are not someone I meant to talk to."
"I am terribly sorry, but can I take this opportunity to introduce you to our various plans so you can retire in 20 years' time as wished?"
"I am rather busy at the moment, and I am going to hang up now."
"When will you not be busy? "
"I don't really know."
"When will you be free then?"
"Can I give you my boss's number, he might have a better idea than me."
