“Hello, can I speak to Rhonda please?”
“Who?”
“Rhonda.”
“There isn’t anyone here by that name. I don’t know any Rhonda.”
“Is this 718 555 2175?”
“Yeah.”
“And there is no Rhonda Cummins?”
“Rhonda Cummins?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh, yeah, this is her house.”
“It is the right number?”
“Oh, yeah, I’m sorry.”
“So you just assumed I was talking about a different Rhonda?”
“Yeah.”
“One who doesn’t live there.”
“Yeah.”
“It’s all right, I do the same thing all the time. People call my house and ask for Kurt, and I think to myself that they can’t possibly be talking about my roommate Kurt. They must be dialing the wrong number. It only makes sense, you know.”
“Yeah.”
“He misses so many calls that way.”
“Yeah.”
“At least people calling for the wrong Kurt aren’t disappointed.”
