Phone Lines

Larry, the hot young businessman, had just started his own firm.

He rented a beautiful modern office and had it furnished with state-of-the art furniture and gadgets.

Sitting there on his first day, he saw a man come into the outer office.

Wishing to appear the hot shot, Larry picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.

He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments.

Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, “Can I help you?”

The man tipped his baseball cap and said, “Yeah, I’ve come to activate your phone lines.”
