    He probably’s been talking to his secret girlfriend.

    The dial tone should have been a clue.

    Okay. I’m confused. All of Y’all are acting like he did it on purpose, but Ive read it over and over and I don’t know if the joke is he forgot or he did it deliberately.

    It is no joke and can happen to you if you live to a ripe old age. I hang up and (redial?) after 5 to 10 Min.

    If he is anything like my husband, he did it on purpose. But I would have picked up the phone to complain or hung up and dialed again to complain.

    That happened to me when I was holding for a pharmacy, though it was like fifteen minutes rather than 1 1/2 hours. There was no indication on the phone that anything was different. Forgot whether it was silent or playing their “music” or giving wall-to-wall commercial announcements, but I did finally hang up and call back. They were annoyed with me for suggesting that there was something wrong.

    I think the first clue he wasn’t on hold was he wasn’t listening to the muzak version of the piña colada song. Muzak MacArthurs Park is also good.
