The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

A PERSON CALLS SOMEONE ON THE PHONE AND ASKS VERY RAPIDLY,
"IS THERE A JOHN THERE?", SO THE ARTICLE "A" IS HARDLY, IF
AT ALL, HEARD. IF THE PERSON ANSWERS NO, THE CALLER SAYS,
"THERE'S NO JOHN THERE?" THE PERSON AGAIN SAYS NO AND THE
CALLER THEN ASKS, "WHAT DO YOU DO? CAN THE STUFF?"
THIS HAPPENNED TO ME JUST RECENTLY.
