Cool phone! No, really!

Posted on August 10, 2006 By Tom No Comments on Cool phone! No, really!
Things Overheard

Some of our Nextel phones are deactivated for personnel that don’t work over the summer.  Hence, the following conversation…

School administrator:  Has my phone been reactivated?

Maintenance:  It should be.  These were turned back on last week.  Why don’t you turn it on and see if you get a signal?

School administrator:  OK, let me get it out of the refrigerator…

I’d love to have heard the rest of the conversation.
