Hello, Mabel?
Date Added: June 20th, 2008
I was recuperating in bed from a knee injury on a warm early summer night, when the phone rang. The caller hollered, “Mabel?” I replied, “I am sorry, I believe you have the wrong number.” She continues, “This isn’t Mabel?” Again, I say, “I am sorry this isn’t Mabel.” Then she says to me, “Well, that’s OK. Maybe you can help me.” Stunned and holding back my laughter I say,”OK, what’s up?” “How come my furnace didn’t come on today?” , she asks me. Unable to hold back any longer a couple of quiet chuckles slip out as I reply, “Well, I think it may be too hot for it to come on, as it was about 80 degrees outside today.” “Oh, you may be right,” she says, and I stutter out a quick “Thanks”. ”See, you could help me!” the unknown caller says. “Anytime,” I reply.
I thought this dialogue was way to out there and funny to keep to myself! Chicken Pucker isn’t always just about the funny~ it is about service to others!! LOL!
