Crank yankers

I've gotten so used to receiving phoney calls from Selives that I nearly deleted a legitimate work voice message prematurely today.

When I retrieved my voice mail and heard, "Hi, my name is Paula from the San Francisco Free Clinic..." I immediately wondered how Selives got my work number. Then I wondered how he got a real person to call me. And my next thought was wondering how he got a girl to call me.

But I realized it was a legitimate call since Paula was asking The Corporation to sponsor some sort of event and was looking for the woman who held my telephone extension before she retired - the head of our Corporate Foundation.
