Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for February 11, 2013

You are so right, Bucky. If no one answers me after my second hello, I hang up. My husband, however, is like Satchel.

Wait five seconds and the recorded telemarketer message cuts in. :-p

I just lay the phone down and let them waste their time like they are wasting mine.

To get rid of those “silent” phonecalls, repeatedly tap the hashmark key. It throws you out of the computer’s call queue.

I don’t think Satchel’s all there, either….

Lionel Ritchie calling.

Hello! Is it me you’re looking for?-Lionel Ritchie

I miss Croce.

sorry but,,, which is the hashmark?

Ever watch “Dial M for Murder”? Grace Kelly spends an awful long time on the phone without a response. Apparently, that was normal in the ’50s.

I too would try the hash mark if I knew what key it was.

At toll booths I’d order a mocha latte and bagel. To go.

thank you i always called that the number sign oh well

Is this Sylvia’s mother? Please, Mrs Gabrielle, can I just say goodbye. (sniff)

Maybe it’s Houdini, having no more luck than with a ouija board.

I would pretend to be the voice mail message:" Hello, you have reached the Satchel residence. I am not able to answer the phone right now, I am hiking in the rain forest. Please leave a . . . a . . . ahh!!!! Snake!!!!! "
