Writing On The Wall

One rep had had a wall telephone at his home for years, and after much urging from his wife, finally arranged to have it replaced with a handset. The wall around the old telephone was covered with names and numbers, which were duly copied into a new telephone index. But six or eight numbers could not be identified. No one in the family claimed them. So one Saturday our man set to work to ring them all up, and find out who they were. One conversation stayed with him for a long time.

"Good afternoon. This is Arthur Greenway. I came across your telephone number without knowing whose it was. I just rang you up to find out, and to see if there is anything I can do for you."

"No thanks Arthur. You've done as much for me as I'd ever ask you to do. I'm your wife's first husband."
