<P><DIV>A law firm receptionist answered the phone the morning after the
firm's senior partner had passed away unexpectedly. "Is Mr. <SPAN id="lw_1234780766_20" class="yshortcuts">Spenser</SPAN>
there?" asked the client on the phone.
</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
"I'm very sorry, but Mr. Spenser passed away last night," the
receptionist answered. "Can anyone else help you?"
</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The man paused for a moment, then quietly said, "No" and hung up.
</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Ten minutes later, he called again and asked for Mr. Spenser, his
ex-wife's lawyer. The receptionist said, "You just called a few
minutes ago, didn't you? Mr. Spenser has died. I'm not making this
up." The man again hung up.
</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Fifteen minutes later, he called a third time and asked for Mr.
Spenser. The receptionist was irked by this time. "I've told you twice
already, Mr. Spenser is dead. He is not here! Why do you keep asking
for him when I say he's dead? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
</DIV>

The man replied, "I understand you perfectly. I just like hearing you
say it over and over."
