One of my friends works in the customer service call center of a
national pager company. He deals with the usual complaints about
poor pager operation, as well as the occasional crank caller
demanding to be paged less often, more often, or by more interesting
people.
The best call came from a man who repeatedly complained that he was
being paged by “Lucille.” He was instructed that he would have to
call her and tell her to stop paging him. “She never leaves a
number, so I can’t call her back,” he said.
After three such calls, someone thought to ask how he knew it was
Lucille if she didn’t leave a number.
“She leaves her name,” was the reply.
After establishing that the customer had a numeric-only pager, the
light bulb came on. “How does she spell her name?” the service rep
asked.
“L-O-W C-E-L-L”
