    It was just Opal’s sister Earl. So you knew it wasn’t important.

    “Your sister called. You will probably want to call her back.”

    Earl never listens to Pearl. That’s probably why they stopped dating years ago.

    To coin a phrase, it couldn’t have been very important ! (from the responses to things forgotten file)

    Her sister is from another comic strip: she’s a teacher in Peanuts

    If there are really only four “Blahs,” she must have been brief

    Dial tones, busy signals, phone cords, information, time and temperature, 0 for the operator, party lines, calling a neighbor to see if they would run next door and have my Bride call me because the kids were on the computer and was using the phone line. Dial up. This has all took place in my lifetime. What did I miss, We’ve came a long way baby!!!

    I giver Earl credit for telling her about the call. My friend called one day while I was gone. Later, she called again and asked if I’d gotten the message from my husband. No, I said.

    So, I asked if anybody called while I was out. No, he said. You sure? Yes, he said. Not even Sue? No, he said. I asked one more time if anyone called. Oh, yeah, Sue called. I told him to just let the machine pick it up from then on.

    Well, she’s the one who made the mistake of telling him something.

    Sigh… Amateurs. I’m surrounded by amateurs.

    Obviously you just tell her that it was Roscoe who took the message.

    I have a friend that when he is on the phone he can drone on and on. One day I was tired and tried to be patient with him. But because I was fatigued I basically tuned him out. But he caught me off guard when he said, “Are you listening? What have I been telling you?” Busted!
