~~~ That about sums it up! ~~~

In a phone conversation with an account manager late one evening, I was obtaining a breakdown of an account. The lady listed... 34.95, 502.97, 37.75, 973.04. But as she was reading off the numbers, I was hearing electronic tones through my receiver, as if someone had picked up an extension phone and started dialing. I looked around the room to our other phone but no one was at that phone. Suddenly, the account manager burst out laughing. When she could at last speak clearly again, she said, "I'm so sorry! I was wondering why my telephone wouldn't ring up that total."
